Hey everyone! Welcome back! Here is a refresher about who we are!

Martha (me) - I’m in charge. I have an MLS (my daughter thinks it is hilarious that I went to “library school”), and MA in art history, and I’m working on a PhD in information science. I can help with research of all kinds.

Aura - Library manager. Aura takes care of all the behind the scenes things in the library. She also has a degree in Game Art from RMCAD.

Jenni - SLC Coordinator. Jenni does design work for Student Affairs and tutors a lot for foundation classes. Ask her about felting!

Katharine - SLC Coordinator. SLC Katharine has an interior design degree from the Art Institute of Colorado and specializes in tutoring interior design students.

We also have a number of library students and peer tutors who fill in the gaps. You can email the library at library@rmcad.edu and the SLC at learning@rmcad.edu.

The fog rolls in

And I can feel the air again.

It’s ruffled, and cold fabric wraps around my shoulders

To take me into the next season.

Leaves turned to fire red, and their brothers and sisters

Spread out on the pavement.

Their tannins leave their stories for a short time before

Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.

Triboro Mural

Welcome to the second installment of “The Triboro 102 Mural” featured in the Learning Commons Blog.

Over the next 3 months I will be writing once a week about the journey of this mural going up in, you guessed it, Triboro Room 102, in Fall 2024.

If you missed the first installation of this blog please go to Archives.

Together, Zuzana Tothova, or Zu, SLC coordinator Katharine Novak, fellow Art Education students Abel Miller and Mae Rogers, along with Graphic Design student Victoria Majchrowski started the research that the team agreed needed to be included in the mural.

“We knew that we wanted to incorporate, what we saw as, the three stages of the land the campus sits on, the beautiful sprawling land when the Ute people and other tribes lived here, the time the campus was home to the Jewish Consumptives Relief Society and, of course, the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design that now sits on that land.” -Katharine Novak

All citations for photo inspiration can be found in the official documents in the 360 Thinkers club folder. If interested please contact Zuzana Tothova.

It was also very important to Dr. Black that the mural tells the stories of the many strong and passionate women that are involved in those three eras. The first, and main focus, being Bessie Marold. Stay tuned for next month's blog for this series on October 28th 2024!
