Centennial Announcements
Art Commission
Karen Lau
The Centennial Art committee is pleased to advise that a jury met on July 7, 2009 and chose the proposal from Karen Lau '03. Her concept, to be developed with student input, will result in a 25" x 50" light box showcasing multiple layers consisting of a line drawing of the school, archival text and a grid of portraits. The piece, to be unveiled at the Centennial Homecoming Weekend, May 29, 2010, is described by Karen as "a celebration of leadership within the school in the past 100 years and the vision they had for UTS." Congratulations Karen!
