The College of Arts and Sciences has awarded the Jacob Van Ek Scholarship—one of the college’s highest honors—to 23 exceptional undergraduates.

The award is named for Jacob Van Ek (1896-1999), who arrived at CU as a young assistant professor shortly after earning his doctorate in 1925 at what is now known as Iowa State University. Within three years, he was a full professor and, by 1929, he was dean of the College of Liberal Arts, serving until 1959. 

Congratulations Seleny!

Please join us for an artist talk, publication launch & closing reception with Marina Kassianidou in conversation with Mary Annunziata on May 15, at 6pm in the NARS Project Space. Marina Kassianidou will discuss her exhibition A Partial History in conversation with Mary Annunziata, and a publication corresponding to the exhibition will also be available. A Partial History unfolds histories/stories of touch, movement, language, and translation. The artist recreates books from her late grandmother’s library, focusing on marks of use and time on the books’ pages. She then makes drawings that magnify and superimpose the marks from the books, compressing time while potentially expanding space. The recreated books and drawings become alternative history books and maps, recording shared histories and spaces of handling and holding.
