USI Liberal Arts Faculty Colloquia to explore benefits of being a maker

The University of Southern Indiana College of Liberal Arts will host its third Faculty Colloquia presentation of the Spring Semester featuring Alisa (AL) Holen, Associate Professor of Ceramics. The presentation, “The Power of Craft (a.k.a. Craft is not a dirty word),” will begin at 3 p.m. Friday, March 24 in Kleymeyer Hall, located in the lower level of the Liberal Arts Center. The event is open to the public at no charge.   

Holen’s presentation will discuss the enduring appeal of craft, the upsurgence of "making" during the pandemic and the physical and mental benefits of being a maker. 

This presentation is part of the Spring 2023 Liberal Arts Faculty Colloquium. Each Fall and Spring Semester, USI faculty members from the College of Liberal Arts present individual, free, public lectures featuring their current research.
