ĢƵ Senior Art Exhibit on Human Trafficking Opens April 19

GREENSBORO, N.C. – “Not for Sale,” an art exhibit by senior art major Alicia Helms that focuses on human trafficking, will open with a reception from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday, April 19, in ĢƵ’s Anne Rudd Galyon Gallery in the Cowan Humanities Building on campus.

A panel discussion on human trafficking will begin at 5 p.m. on the 19th in Cowan Lecture Hall, upstairs from the gallery, featuring Nicolas Eilbaum, assistant professor of sociology and criminal justice, and representatives from the ĢƵ Police Department and the anti-trafficking nonprofit Abolition N.C.

The reception, discussion, and exhibit are free and open to the public. Regular exhibit hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. weekdays through May 11.

ĢƵ’s Department of Art offers the B.A. or B.S. in Art and the B.A. in Art Education.

The program, with individual attention to students, combines classic art principles with the liberal-arts foundations of diverse branches of inquiry, including both science and the humanities, so that students can incorporate as much of the world as possible into their own art-making.

For more information about ĢƵ’s art program, contact department chair Jim Langer at 336-272-7102, ext. 5361, or email langerj@greensboro.edu.

ĢƵ provides a liberal arts education grounded in the traditions of the United Methodist Church and fosters the intellectual, social, and, spiritual development of all students while supporting their individual needs.

Founded in 1838 and located in downtown ĢƵ, the college enrolls about 1,000 students from 29 states and territories, the District of Columbia, and seven foreign countries in its undergraduate liberal-arts program and four master’s degree programs. In addition to rigorous academics and a well-supported Honors program, the school features an 18-sport NCAA Division III athletic program and dozens of service and recreational opportunities.

“I loved the GC Honors program and ĢƵ. I felt safe and a sense of genuine belonging at the college. I worked closely with my thesis advisor and professors who helped inspire me to define my path and passion of interest. That path has led me to complete my doctoral studies in Engineering Mechanics.”
