Exhibit coordinators will report to Professors Diane Lipsett and Rosa Otero and be supported by other faculty and staff.

This will be the fourth student creative exhibition over the last five years that has explored the “touchstones” that help shape Salem’s Engaging Ethics program. This year (2025-26) a grant from the Educating Character Initiative at Wake Forest University provides extra financial support along with a focus on how the touchstones (Courage, Integrity, Justice, Care, Respect) are not only theoretical concepts but qualities of character. That is, they are virtues or forms of excellence that we aspire to at Salem College, as well as principles that help us think. This creative exhibit is one way to explore student understandings of the touchstones as expressions of character. Qualifications

Responsibilities

The student exhibit coordinators will facilitate a collaborative approach to the photography exhibit and coordinate with student groups contributing to the event. They will also be involved in curating, framing, mounting, and installing artwork, as well as hosting the opening night and archiving materials post-exhibit.
