Art + Design Students Partner with MD Lab to Draw Cadavers

 

Department of Communication, Media, and the Arts collaborated with the Department of Medical Education on a special assignment – drawing cadavers. Students had the opportunity to tour the MD lab and were introduced to 16 cadavers and skeletal and muscular models.

“It is one of my favorite field trips in the semester, because it is life changing,” said Associate Professor of Art + Design Kandy Lopez-Moreno. “Not only are they trying to replicate what they are seeing, but they are also questioning their existence as human beings.”

Lopez-Moreno collaborated with Professor Vijay Rajput, M.D., chair for the Department of Medical Education, to coordinate the visit to the lab. Students were required to take the NSU Environmental Health and Safety Education course module on Canvas prior to the visit.

B.A. in Theatre alumna Kaeleigh Sturgeon

B.A. in Theatre alumna Kaeleigh Sturgeon is taking her talents to the most magical place on Earth with her role working in attractions for Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. As an intern for the Disney College Program, Sturgeon works as an attractions hostess and cast member for Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, Hollywood Studios’ newest attraction.

“The skills I built as a theatre major, including public speaking, memorization, creative problem solving and initiative, have greatly prepared me for my safety-critical and guest-facing role at Disney,” said Sturgeon, a recent graduate of the B.A. in Theatre program in the Department of Communication, Media, and the Arts in the Halmos College of Arts and Sciences. “Additionally, working as an ensemble in the many shows I had the privilege to be a part of in my time at NSU has helped me better work as a team with my fellow cast members.”

Sturgeon, who also minored in marketing, graphic design and strategic communication, started her internship with Walt Disney World this fall.

Guest Lecture Series Highlights Rhetoric of Health, Wellness

Rachel Panton, Ph.D.

This fall, COMP 1500: College Writing hosted a guest lecture series highlighting the rhetoric of health and wellness. The series, facilitated by Assistant Professor of Writing, Rachel Panton, Ph.D., and the Department of Communication, Media, and the Arts  in the Halmos College of Arts and Sciences featured a variety of speakers and topics, such as the importance of science writing and communication, the rhetoric of public health during the pandemic, the rhetoric of women’s childbirth advocacy, and the rhetoric of mental health and social media.

“This lecture series was inspired by a desire to broaden student awareness to the centrality of rhetoric and writing in the sciences and humanities and to think across boundaries,” Panton said. “I wanted students to have a greater understanding of the interdisciplinarity and intersectionality of the rhetoric of health and wellness. Most importantly, I wanted them to feel as though they are contributors to these conversations, as well as agents of change.”

Featured speakers included:

Paola Espitia: NSU Marine Biology alumna, media producer, ocean communicator and speaker with the multimedia production studio Ola’Pi Creative

Patrice Leopold, Ph.D.: Assistant Professor for NSU’s Department of Counseling in the College of Psychology

Christi Navarro, Ph.D.: Assistant Professor of Public Health, Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine
