Vote For The Rotunda Art Project Winner
The rotunda ceilings in the West Building are about to get a complete transformation.
The five final designs for the Public Art project, which will turn the rotunda ceilings into vivid works of art, will be on display starting today through Friday in front of the Performing Arts Center (PAC) and in the Visiting Artist Gallery (first floor, West Building).
Students, faculty and staff are invited to cast their vote for which of the five artists should be selected as the winner. The winner will be notified on Nov. 1 and on-site work will begin in late December.
Artists from around the world submitted entries for this project that will make Stevenson even more beautiful. While Stevenson’s rotunda murals will be secular in nature, the goals of placing these artworks near our Visiting Artist and Student Art Galleries will be to further add to an environment that promotes reflection and awareness.
Let’s Talk About Your Future…Tonight!
There’s no homework tonight, so…what to do, what to do, what to do?
As a reminder, our “Let’s Talk About Your Future” event is slated for tonight in which families can engage in meaningful conversations about their students’ interests and goals for the future. The “no homework” is to allow time for these conversations.
Click here for everything you need to prepare for “Let’s Talk About Your Future,” including the 2022-23 coursebook, flash cards to help facilitate discussions and other resources.
Seniors, this would be a great time for you and your parents to have conversations about your plans for after high school. Some questions to get you started: Where are you in the college application process? What kind of support do you need for your post-Stevenson plans? How will your family be meeting the FAFSA graduation requirement? For more information and resources, please refer to the letter sent out recently from Student Services.
