Halmos Faculty Host AAUW-PACE Art + Design Workshop

On February 21, 2023, Professor Kandy Lopez-Moreno, Department of Communication, Media, and the Arts, and Professor Julie Garcia, Department of Biological Sciences, jointly facilitated a monotype workshop for the PACE Center for Girls of Broward County on behalf of the American Association of University Women (AAUW). The workshop is part of the AAUW’s Exploring Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (E-STEAM) project hosted on NSU’s campus. During the workshop, participants learned printmaking and were introduced to careers in art and design.

“Dr. Garcia and I have been working together with the AAUW NSU chapter for 7 years. Through this program we collaborate with the PACE Center for Girls of Broward to provide hands on experience in the visual arts sphere. We’ve taught graphic design, print design, monotype prints, screen prints and letterpress. It’s also a way for us (science + art) to learn from each other and to work outside of our discipline,” said Professor Kandy Lopez-Moreno.

The AAUW is a national organization that has encouraged women to pursue higher education since 1881. Their mission is to advance gender equity through research, education and advocacy. The Fort Lauderdale branch, to which our faculty contribute, was chartered in 1947 and is one of 35 branches in the state of Florida.
