Sandy's Stories: Art Exhibition [UHP Recommended Event]
Curator Roxanne Goldberg has shared a special invitation to UHP students for the exhibition Sandy’s Stories: An Epilogue of Hurricane Sandy.
Says Goldberg,
“I thought this powerful and dynamic exhibition would be of interest to UHP students and faculty, given its exploration of the ways in which individuals not only engage in intimate introspective exercises as they struggled to grapple with a spectacular event, but how they also come together in remarkable displays of primal support, shared strife, and universal affection.”
The opening reception will be tomorrow, January 23 from 6:00-8:00 pm at GW’s Gallery 102. For more information click the picture below.

How do you know if you need to complete an Honors Contract? Keep reading to find out.
