The Daily Bruin

Join us for chapel with guest speaker Rebecca Hamm this today (Tuesday) at 10:50 a.m. in Bauman Auditorium.

A Claremont native, Rebecca Hamm received her B.A. from California Polytechnic University and her M.F.A. from the Claremont Graduate University.  In addition to producing and exhibiting her artwork throughout the region, she is the Program Director for the First Street Gallery Art Center in Claremont and is an adjunct Art Instructor at 3 local universities.
Rebecca’s work presents points where nature overcomes and reclaims –gradually or dramatically– human constructs. Rebecca creates energetic, abstracted visions that overflow with color and hidden life. At a distance, the stream emerges and the rock forms in a constant state of flux. The serenity of nature is simultaneously presented as mysterious and comforting; fascinating and awe striking; terrifying and instructive.

Longing for a low-key, low-pressure night full of literary laughs? Then sigh no more: “Bad Poetry Night” is coming on Friday, Feb. 20, from 6 to 9 p.m. in Lemmons 8.

“Bad poetry” doesn’t just mean your middle school love poems (though it certainly could include them). It could be a dramatic reading of a song, a Facebook post, or a series of tweets. It could be a truly awful poem you stumbled across on the Internet. It could be spoken word (or something akin to it). Or it could simply be a “bad” reading of a poem traditionally thought to be “good.”

The sign-up sheet will be posted in the Minthorne mail room. The deadline to sign up is Friday, Feb. 13. The event is being sponsored by the George Fox chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, the international English Honor Society.

Questions? Contact Emily Lund (elund12@georgefox.edu).
