The Office of Student Engagement continued its popular "Crafternoon" series this past week, giving participants the opportunity to make dazzling floral arrangements under the expert tutelage of an award-winning alumnus and faculty member. For a few colorful hours on Thursday, "The Art of Floral Design" which shares its name with Karen R. Ruhl's popular elective class (HRT 260) brought the budding promise of spring to the Bush Campus Center lobby.
