Communications Request Form to be Launched Soon!

This is a friendly reminder that as part of a pilot project intended to improve student communications practices at the College, all newsfeed and event postings in both the Academic and Student Omnivox communities will soon be populated and scheduled by Communications Office staff.聽 These two communities will be merged into one 鈥淪tudent鈥 community that will receive priority in the newsfeed over posts from other Communities.

The Communications Office has developed and tested a聽centralized content request form for promotional requests across various channels, including the Omnivox Newsfeed and Events Calendar.聽 This will benefit the community given that every piece of content will be considered for publication across the following channels:

鈥omepage slider
鈥mnivox student newsfeed
鈥mnivox student events calendar
鈥ollege screens
鈥ocial media
鈥 News
鈥 Announcements
鈥vents calendar
鈥eekly Student News Bulletin (New! Published and MIOed to students most Fridays)

As of March 24, we kindly ask that you use the recently developed form to request a posting in Omnivox and the places listed above. To access the Communications Office Request Form, please go to 鈫 Administrative Services 鈫 Communications Request Form.聽The turnaround time from submission to posting is 1-3 business days.

Sarah-Mecca Abdourahman: Memories We Carry, Stories We Heal聽

Vernissage: Thursday, March 27th, 2025 at 5:00 p.m.
Exhibition Dates: March 27th – May 3rd, 2025

Artist Talk: March 27 @ 4:30 p.m.

In this exhibition at the Warren G. Flowers Art Gallery, Sarah-Mecca Abdourahman explores the complexities of memory and nostalgia in her everlasting search for a connection to her parent鈥檚 homelands, Somalia and India. A longing for home that can bring grief and joy. Delving into these contrasting emotions, Abdourahman鈥檚 work moves between themes of haunting and healing, evoking the bittersweet. Her yearning is woven into the fabric of multimedia-painted blankets and installations which allude to both the innocence of childhood and its nightmares.
