Dan Serig and eight MSAE students returned July 16th from a fabulous two-week trip to Ecuador. They visited the coastal city of Guayaquil, spent five days staying at an EcoLodge right on the beach, journeyed into the Andes, met artists, taught kids, saw exotic birds and animals… all in all, it was a fantastic way to earn three credits!

Linda Anderson Wins George Nick Prize
M.S.A.E. student Linda Anderson was one of the winners of this year’s George Nick Prize, a college-wide award that has never before been won by a student from any department other than 2D Fine Arts.
Named for Professor Emeritus George Nick of the 2D Fine Arts Department, the prize is awarded to advanced undergraduate and graduate students in any department of the college who, through observational capabilities, skill in drawing, and understanding of the role of tone and color, create two-dimensional works that can be recognized in terms of content and that emphasize forms of realism. As Linda’s advisor Jen Hall said at the Awards Ceremony, "Linda Anderson’s painting certainly does this at the highest technical level. Linda’s paintings also transcend visual realism to embody what it feels like to be in a simple moment of humanness."
In addition to the honor, the George Nick Prize comes with a major cash award.
Linda completed the Teacher Preparation Program in 2004 and is nearing completion of her MSAE. She has been teaching art at Concord Middle School since Fall 2004.
