Jessica Swegel (MSAE 2003) was chosen to create an ornament for the official White House Christmas tree. One artist from each of the 435 congressional districts in the U.S. was asked to decorate a 9-inch spherical ornament, and Representative Michael Capuano chose our alum Jessica for his district, which includes Cambridge, Somerville, Chelsea, and parts of Boston. Jessica based her design of a snowy landscape on memories of childhood Christmasses and winters in the Berkshires. On December 2nd she attended a ceremony in the Blue Room of the White House, where the 20-foot Fraser Fir with its 400 handcrafted ornaments was unveiled. Jessica teaches at Stoneham High School. |

Planning is already well underway for this summer’s travel course to Ecuador July 1-16. Last year’s trip was a wonderful experience for all participants. Dan Serig and Juan Ormaza, a MassArt professor and Ecuadoran, will be co-leaders again this year.
The itinerary will be somewhat different. In addition to Quito and the Cloud Forest in the Andes, the group will explore the very different coastal culture and stay at a national park on the beach. The experience of working with children was a highlight of the first trip, and there are plans to increase these opportunities and increase the depth of these experiences.
Please contact Dan Serig with questions about the trip: dan.serig@massart.edu or 617-879-7549.
