Silver Star Alumni Award Recipients One of the nation's leading furniture makers Alphonse Mattia (left) '69 (Dimensional Design), a senior critic in the Rhode Island School of Design's graduate program in Furniture Design and faculty member at the Center for Turning and Furniture Design at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania, will receive the College of Art and Design Silver Star Alumni Award. Pilobolus Dance Theater rehearsal director and artistic associate Renee Jaworski (right) '94 (Modern Dance) will receive the College of Performing Arts Silver Star Award. First awarded in 1955 to world renowned portrait and fashion photographer Irving Penn and fashion designer Tina Leser, the Silver Star Alumni Award has been bestowed upon nearly 100 graduates of the University's College of Art and Design and College of Performing Arts. The honorees are selected because they are role models for graduating seniors and represent the tradition of educational and artistic excellence that the University's faculty works hard to achieve. |
Webcast Information
 Those who can't attend the ceremony merely need to pull up a "virtual seat" and log onto the University's live Webcast at 10:30 a.m. You are advised to visit the Webcast page in advance of the broadcast, where you will be prompted to download an updated version of Flash if you need it. For best performance, your computer should have been bought or upgraded within the last few years. While every effort will be made to troubleshoot technical issues during the live broadcast, the University cannot guarantee access to the Webcast. Following the ceremony, on-demand rebroadcasts will be available through June 20. |
