Window sculpture installations draw attention
[cid:5C27D208-703A-4666-92D2-717BD2B963FF]
Students gather along the hallway that connects Ag Science with the Ag Engineering Annex Tuesday. The hallway currently features art sculpture window installations by students in Asako Nakauchi's studio sculpture class. Student Naomi de Weever's piece, "Jillian," is a figure made of plastic gift-wrapping paper and duct tape. "Jillian likes to read her book and let her imagination flow, " the artist said. The window installations will be up through the end of Spring Break. Photo by Kathy M Helgeson.

Host Rich Kremer will welcome UW-Eau Claire Chancellor James C. Schmidt, UW-Stout Chancellor Robert M.
