We got to help out with a SUPER cool exhibit over in Art-Soc & the opening reception is TOMORROW NIGHT!! As part of Next Now Fest, we'll be celebrating the passion (& rage) that art can evoke & looking back at a 1993 public art exhibit that still echoes across campus today.

The Center for Young Children (run by @UMDCollegeofEd) is turning 75 this fall! The CYC has been "teaching tots" on campus since 1948 with the help of UMD students, and has become a cornerstone of the University. Happy 75th CYC!
