College of Visual and Performing Arts Faculty First
Thursday! Margaret Noel, assistant professor in the Department of Fine Arts,
will present “Lost in Translation: The Drawn Travelogue” on Thursday, Apr. 5, at
11 a.m. in the Sharadin Art Building Room 120. Margaret Noel will present body
of work based on drawing done on location during her travels. Back in the
studio, Noel loosely references the drawings to create collages that abstract
and fracture the original forms. While some elements are fully articulated,
others are simplified, generalized and transformed, allowing viewers to feel as
if they have stumbled upon the record of a half-forgotten journey—a blurred
remembrance of a landscape rather than a precise rendering.

Advisors, please share this information with your advisees:
As students are
preparing to register for fall 2012 classes, their records must be free of
holds, including those placed on their records due to unpaid parking tickets. To
ensure records are free of a “parking ticket hold,” students may request a
listing of any unpaid tickets via email by sending a message to
parking@kutztown.edu. All requests
will be given the highest priority to assist students with clearing any
outstanding debt they owe to KU due to parking tickets. Included in the email
should be the vehicle’s plate number and state. All ticket payments are received
by the Bursar’s Office. Once payment has been made in full, the student must
bring the receipt to Public Safety located in OM 13 at which time the payment
will be verified and the seal removed. If you have any questions, please call
x3-4860, x3-4864 or x3-4861.
