We’re hoping that everyone who walks by the exhibition will pause for a moment and pay attention. We want students to look at the work and the faces of these individuals and realize that they can learn something from the stories they are seeing.” – Cathy Braasch“We also hope faculty will take note and be encouraged to expand their set of preferred designers and look beyond those that they highlight in their courses,” she added. The Stuckeman School has worked with department chairs, administrators from both the School and College of Arts and Architecture and academic advisers to host an open house at the start of the fall semester to welcome students of color. “Our goal is to help students who come from diverse backgrounds find people that they might identify with as they enter their respective programs,” said Miller. “College can be stressful at times so it’s always nice to know you have a group of people that you can turn to for support when you need it. The open house is a first step to make those connections.” For more information, please visit Black History at Penn State.
