There were 146 entries for consideration and Melander selected 80 pieces to be included in the exhibit. Thanks to the generosity of individual community members, the Alumni Foundation, the Dean of Arts & Humanities, the Women’s Studies Department and student entry fees, 12 awards will be presented on Thursday, totaling $2,055.
