On Tuesday, September 6, the Faculty exhibition, Studio Practice, drew a bumper crowd despite the rain. It was a great place to listen in on the conversations to be had in and around the array of works that seemed to be as varied as those in attendance. The wonderful reception hosted by the Palmer Museum was appreciated by all and seemed to set the scene for the right kind of food for thought.

At a time of graduation celebration and reflective commencement speeches, Professor Chris Staley's thoughtful op-ed piece on creativity in Monday's Centre Daily Times is a reminder of the scope of meaningful learning.
Creativity is essential now more than ever - Editorial Columns | Centre Daily Times - State College,
Which is more important: art or science? Most people would say science. In answering this question I cant help but think of the word Sputnik, and my grandfather James Killian.
