GSSWSR Students Exhibit Art
Sacha Bodner, a student at Bryn Mawr's Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research, has chosen social work over photography as a career, but he still values the heightened awareness he has learned from his artistic practice and considers it an essential part of his life. Suspecting that he was not the only artist in the GSSWSR's student body, he approached Maria Gardell, the co-chair of the GSSWSR's student association, and proposed a new angle on the traditional meet-and-greet mixer: an exhibition of student art.

On campus this week: Disabilites and communication; Bi-Co Orchestra; International Justice Week; Collective memory of intractable conflicts; Local food and wine with Judy Wicks, the Fit Club
