Engineering Semester Abroad in France

Every year, Grove City College sends a group of engineering students to Nantes, France to study abroad.

It’s an incredible and unique opportunity for the engineering majors on campus. With such a specialized courseload, very few colleges can offer a study abroad experience within the engineering department like Grove City College does.

Last semester Alex Watt had a chance to interview Dr. Bright, the chair of the Department of Electrical Engineering while he was in France. Dr. Bright shared his experience with the program and encourages students to be a part of it.

For more information about the Nantes, France Engineering program, check out the Study Abroad for Engineers page on the Grove City College website.

Inside The Studio – Student Worker

One of the biggest questions I had before applying to Grove City College is what type of art does the school offer? Magic happens in the art studio located in Pew Fine Arts Center. Grove City College offers over 23 courses in the visual arts, from pottery to design to sculpture. I highly recommend everyone take at least one of those classes.  Not only you get to keep the art you created, but you will feel artistic and a sense of fulfillment.

In this last part of Inside The Studio, I explore the idea of working in something you enjoy doing. I interviewed Alexandria Ridderhott, who is an art student worker. Her job is to fire the clay, and having the last process completed.

This is a great opportunity for people who are interested in learning more in-depth on the process of biscuit ceramics.

This is the second part of Inside The Studio video series. This video explore one of the projects in the sculpturing class offered in the art studio. I interviewed Bethany and Caitlin about creating their plaster project, and what is the meaning behind creating this sculpture.

Your Passion is Here: 2017 Create Conference

Are you worried that your passion is not one of the majors offered by Grove City College? Is there a hobby that you would like to develop? On March 18, Abby Cunningham and Alexis Marnejon with the Communication and Visual Arts Department, Entrepreneurship Department, and Student Government Association will hold the 2017 Create Conference. This conference will be hosting professionals representing a wide range of creative fields such as photography, graphic design, fine art, and multi-media production. The day will feature main stage talks, workshops, small seminars, and a retail/connection event.

This event is really exciting – one of the guest speaks is from The Neighborhood Film Company. As a huge movie buff with dreams to one day to enter the film industry, this is a great opportunity for me to learn and connect.

With conference and events like this, I am sure that my passion will only grow and develop more. Having workshops and making a connection creates a door for my career path.

I have created a promo video for this coming event. Check it out!
