Did you see the collection of beautiful portraits and landscapes by LMU graduate student Hunter Joslin on display last month?
Although the exhibit is down, we'd be remiss if we didn't share this news with you. At the closing reception and silent auction for The Circuit, the sale of Joslin's work raised over $3200, with all proceeds going towards graduate student scholarships in the Theology department.
Congratulations to Hunter and all of his supporters here at LMU!
