UCC presents Annual Student Art Exhibition

Emily Michel

APRIL 29, 2022

Each year in the spring, UCC presents a juried student art exhibition, which now returns to UCC’s physical gallery space after two years due to the pandemic. The exhibit showcases work from students enrolled in UCC’s Fine Art classes during the current academic year.

I am looking forward to the show, and I think everyone should check it out. I will have some pieces in the show, and it will be my first one, which is exciting! said Emily Michel, a current art student at UCC.

This longstanding Annual Student Art Exhibition is the highlight as it marks the end of the series of gallery shows for the year. This collective art show will present the abilities and talent of emerging artists from UCC, featuring their outstanding works in studio arts, specifically ceramics, basic design, drawing, and painting.

From uncertain to unstoppable – this is how Sydney Miele built her legal career with UCC . . .
When Sydney Miele entered the Paralegal program at UCC, she didn’t know which direction she wanted to take. “Going into the program, I wasn’t completely set on what I wanted to do exactly in the legal field. I was leaning toward being a paralegal or maybe even like a law clerk… maybe doing a couple years of law school.”

Welding for My Son: Resilience Through Education

When Gabriella Spencer moved to Roseburg, she never dreamed she would have her GED, let alone be in a two-year welding program. “I left a bad situation in Ohio, and I came here with nothing. I was in a homeless shelter with my son, who was just entering first grade. He was still in that place where he didn’t want to go to school. He wanted to stay at home with mommy all day and play, and I’m trying to explain the importance of education. While I’m doing this, I’m thinking, I’ve never even gotten my GED.”
