his work at auction. Bethany sold only artworks it had purchased or that were given with the intent to sell.
Tony Pro, the newest art faculty mem- ber at California Lutheran Univer- sity, Thousand Oaks, is one of three founding members of the Novorealism movement. Pro, a painter and former professional graphic designer, said art should be recognizable or mean some- thing to the viewer, “bringing beauty back to art.” Pro won first place in a 2004 Portrait Society of Atlanta exhi- bition, best of show at the 2005 Oil Painters of America Show, and was among the top 10 finalists in the 2005 Portrait Society of America show. “The students are going to get my work experience right in the classroom,” he said. “My intent is to give them a broad perspective of the possibilities of design, where you can go with it. I didn’t get that in school.”
Capital University, Columbus, Ohio, car- ried out an experiment during the 2010- 11 academic year to see if six students could learn empathy by walking in someone else’s shoes. Capital Board of Trustees member William St. Pierre cites research findings that today’s U.S. undergraduates are 40 percent less empathetic than two and three decades ago. Ben Ferree, Liz Delfing, Andy Grizzell, Megan Boissiere, Megan Ailer and Diana Crandall spent eight weeks with Lutheran Social Services of Central Ohio, the Children’s Hunger Alliance and other community social service agencies learning what it’s like to be among Columbus’ working poor. Delfing spent 24 hours in a wheelchair and was told she had to take the bus to work. Feree went through the process of seeking a bed at the local homeless shelter. And Crandall didn’t eat for 24 hours, replicating the experience of a child who gets one free meal a day, and was “evicted” from her dorm room. This year, the experiment continues with new students and community partners.
