Ed Hamilton, a Kentucky artist asked to construct the Lincoln statue, is about to send the clay version of the statue off to be cast in metal.

Adrienne Rich was most well known for her poetry — she won several awards, including the National Medal of the Arts in 1997, which she famously refused in protest of the ending of funding to the National Endowment for the Arts.

Centre, This I Believe: Invest yourself in the world
In our brief time at Centre, each of us undergoes experiences that begin to define what we believe — at least that’s what we are told.

But when that dreaded last “first day of school” came around, I found myself unsatisfied with the all-too-familiar motions of another overcommitted student in my most committed semester yet/possible/ever.
