Looking for a student of any year-level who has experience with content analysis and online group chatting environment, and preferably strong reading  skills, to help with conducting content analysis of online media for an ongoing project. This position would be paid hourly for about 10 hours per week for no more than 4 weeks, starting immediately. The work can be performed anywhere with a computer. Other tasks may follow if the student is interested and qualified.

The Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture (CADVC) presents “Image Transfer: Pictures in a Remix Culture,” curated by Sara Krajewski and co-organized by Independent Curators International and the Henry Art Gallery, on display October 6-December 10.

“Image Transfer: Pictures in a Remix Culture” spotlights evolving attitudes toward the appropriation, recuperation and repurposing of extant photographic imagery. Artists, as both producers and consumers in today’s vast image economy, freely adopt and adapt materials from myriad sources. Images culled from the Internet, magazines, newspapers, advertisements, television, films, personal and public archives, studio walls and from other works of art are all fair game. “Image Transfer” brings together artists who divert commonplace, even ubiquitous, visual materials into new territories of formal and idiomatic expression.

Artists featured in the exhibition include Sean Dack, Karl Haendel, Jordan Kantor, Matt Keegan, Carter Mull, Lisa Oppenheim, Marlo Pascual, Amanda Ross-Ho, Sara VanDerBeek, Siebren Versteeg, Erika Vogt and Kelley Walker.

An opening reception will be held on Thursday, October 6, 5-7 p.m., and the exhibition will open for regular hours on Friday, October 7.

Admission to the exhibition is free. CADVC is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and is located in the Fine Arts Building. For more information, call ext. 5-3188.

Have you ever wondered who is the face behind the system that matched you to your roommate? If you’re a current resident on campus, there’s a chance you have a roommate. Wendy Crowe, the Housing Assignment Coordinator, is the guru at ResLife who works to make sure you and your roommate are a good match. 

Crowe believes one of the most important aspects to keep in mind when assigning roommates is bedtime. “Bedtime seems to be the source of most of roommate conflicts,” she explains. Another important factor she keeps in mind when assigning roommates is the determined “social environment”, i.e. how often each roommatae plans to have company over. She also notices that students tend to use the comment box at the bottom of the housing application, so she also makes sure to keep that in mind.

One of the most difficult parts of roommate assignments is that “sometimes what is on the application doesn’t exactly match the actual person applying,” Crowe says. “Sometimes students should realize their roommate doesn’t have to be their best friend.  You can learn how to compromise. I enjoy working with the students... It’s really nice to see students who are excited.”
