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.
