Hay will give a public lecture, “A Lifetime of Clay” at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 10 in Health Professions Center, Rm. 1008. It is free and open to the public. In addition to selecting the best of the student work submitted for the exhibition, Hay will award over $15,000 in scholarships, merit awards, and purchase awards.
