There's nothing quite like Kate MacLeod's sweet celtic fiddling to soothe the hearts and minds of Radical(ly) Quiet honors students. Kate also sang (and discussed) beautiful songs that she's written on river trips -- evoking wind, sand, and flowing water. The MHC Big Ideas Room flowed with her evocative music.

Each year, the Honors College invites students to submit their artwork to serve as the cover art for the Honors College Degree Recognition Celebration. This year, Honors has selected Nandhini Ramanathan’s piece Uncharted to reflect the character and outlook of this year’s graduates. Nandhini describes the figure’s place at the edge of a precipice: “The piece is meant to capture what it feels like to stand at the edge of something enormous, the way graduation does,” she said. “The idea behind it was that no matter how much we collaborate, how many teams we’re part of, or how many people support us along the way, self-discovery is ultimately something you do alone. Growth and change and real reflection start from within. The figure isn’t lost though, they’re present, they’re looking outward, and the world in front of them is enormous and full of possibility.”
