Deadline Extended - ABSc Mural Project - Call for Mural Artists
We are redesigning the wall outside ANNU 141 (8’ x 7') to celebrate the next generation of ABSc graduates, keeping Indigenization, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (IEDI) principles in mind. The winning design from a department-wide competition is shown above for inspiration, and we are looking for an artist to take this sketch and design a mural of their own style along this vein to be painted on the wall. Additional design notes – we would like the final version to be less cartoony and more timeless.
Our Sympathies: Sandra Moccia
It is with great regret that we pass on terribly sad news about Rich Moccia's beloved wife Sandra, who passed away on December 29th after a prolonged battle with vascular dementia.
A private memorial service will be held, followed by an open ‘Celebration of Life’ at a later date, with details to follow. Arrangements entrusted to WALL-CUSTANCE FUNERAL HOME & CHAPEL (519-822-0051 / www.wallcustance.com).
