Alumni Exhibition & Tiny Houses

Arts/Entertainment

The Alumni Exhibition will feature work of three former USU Art + Design BFA students who recently receive their MFA’s from Indiana University and Cranbrook Academy of Art. Jonathan Christensen Caballero graduated with his MFA in ceramics from Indiana University in 2020. Jiggs Henry graduated with his MFA in printmaking from Indiana University spring of 2021. Jake Vinson also graduate this past spring with an MFA in ceramics from Cranbrook Academy of Art.

Tiny House Exhibit / Interior Design and Architecture Program This exhibit shows a comprehensive project between Architectural Graphics I + II and CADD I + II. The project outline is simple: design a small residence for two people, approximately 500 sqft per level. The residence must have more than one level, be built in Utah, and meet all residential building codes. Students begin their design by abstracting an object, which then develops into architecture. The students create presentation drawings, a three-dimensional model, set of construction documents, and interior and exterior renderings of their custom design.

Mindfulness Meditation | Sitting in breath and presence

Recreation

FREE REGISTRATION: https://bit.ly/mindfulnessandmeditationweekly

Mindfulness is a type of meditation in which you focus on being intensely aware of what you're sensing and feeling in the moment, without interpretation or judgment. Practicing mindfulness involves breathing methods, guided imagery, and other practices to relax the body and mind and help reduce stress. Mindfulness meditation has been proven to support various health conditions - stress, anxiety, pain, depression, insomnia, high blood pressure, fibromyalgia, and more - and help you experience thoughts and emotions with greater balance and acceptance, improve attentiveness, and relieve burnout.

Practicing self care through mindfulness and meditation can help you relax and focus on what is most important - your overall wellness. This is a weekly, online wellness series hosted by the Utah State University Office of Health Equity and Community Engagement and Tribal & Rural Opioid Initiative Resource Center.
