Sara Zak’s “Forget-Me-Nots” will be on display throughout the month of mid-December in the Peter A. and Mary Lou Vogt Gallery in the Andrew L. Bouwhuis, SJ, Library. The multi-sensory installation is based on Zak’s pilgrimage to the crash site of her father’s F-111 fighter jet. Three years ago, she held an exhibition at this gallery entitled “MISHAP Contained.” The paintings and prints analyzed the crash sites of many F-111 jets. “Forget-Me-Nots” is a more contemplative healing experience. In response to climbing her dad’s mountain in Scotland, Zak’s work deals not only with trauma, but with healing. “Forget-Me-Nots” is an homage to people dealing with PTSD and loss.
This exhibition opens on Monday, November 11. Join the Fine Arts Department for a reception on Friday, November 15 from 5:00 – 7:30 p.m. “Forget-Me-Nots” will be on display through Friday, December 13.

Turnitin software includes an originality checker that can help students avoid plagiarism. This program also has tools so professors can provide detailed feedback to students about their writing.
Faculty can easily employ Turnitin within the D2L dropboxes. Both professors and students can access Turnitin features and feedback through D2L. Within the D2L dropbox editor, look for the Turnitin toolset on a new tab. Those who prefer to read and grade paper copies can still instruct students to upload papers to Turnitin via D2L.
See this quick tutorial for setting up Turnitin in your D2L dropboxes.
