Art Alum Displays Work in Carlson<\/h4>\n

Be sure to check out the found-object sculptures of artist Stephen Signa-Alves C\u201912. The exhibit, Place of Waiting, explores the meaning of temporary environments, places such as airports, where we find ourselves\u00a0<\/span>cooling our heels throughout\u00a0<\/span>our lives.<\/p>\n

Signa-Alves will be discussing his work Sept. 28 from 4:00\u20136:30 pm in the Carlson Tower Gallery.<\/p>\n

Our Athletes are Off to a Fast Start!<\/h4>\n

Congrats <\/span>to Viking\u00a0<\/span>Patrycja Miazek<\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>who\u00a0was selected as the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) Women’s Cross Country Student-Athlete of the Week! The honor came\u00a0<\/span>after\u00a0<\/span>her outstanding performance in the Vikings’ season opener last week.<\/p>\n

Miazek placed first in the women’s 4K at Elmhurst’s Earlybird Invitational at Eldridge Park. She won the event with a time of 15:17.3 in a field of 112 athletes, coming back from second place with a half mile left and winning by nine-tenths of a second. Miazek joined the Vikings’ cross-country program in the spring and this was her first-ever race\u00a0<\/span>after\u00a0<\/span>her career as a tennis athlete.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, our powerful women\u2019s volleyball team is undefeated after three games. We have two games tomorrow vs. Knox College and Dominican University in River Forrest, IL. Next home game: North Central College will visit Wednesday, Sept. 15 at 7 pm.<\/p>\n

Check out the official website of\u00a0<\/span>天美传媒 athletics<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>for fall sports rosters, results and game times.<\/p>\n
