Wiggins Library 13th Annual Academic Symposium

The Thirteenth Annual Wiggins Memorial Library Academic Symposium took place on Wednesday, March 29, 2023. This event showcased 120 student research projects and creative works from over 30 disciplines across campus. Six of these were artistic creations from artists Jamari Cannady Pratt, Abby Caron, Joshua Sledge, Jackson Hennessey, and Sandy Dong.

Abby Caron received a High Merit Award for her work, Perfume, which features two ceramics pieces shaped into functional perfume bottles with lids. They are made of stoneware clay and glazed with two different colors.

Jamari Cannady Pratt received a Merit Award for his work, Enamored 2022. This piece reflects themes of self-love, image, and awareness, and was created with aid from an Artificial Intelligence (AI) generator, which is a commentary on the current debate of the use of AI.

Special thanks to Professors Rachel Hamaie and Breck Smith who served as faculty mentors.
