Regis University Student Government Association (RUSGA) gets together every year to host an award ceremony in order to recognize the efforts and achievements that indi­ viduals and groups make towards maintaining an outstanding university. The ceremony is normally held the day before graduation to honor and thank all of the hard workers at Regis. There is no easy way to select who wins these awards and each year the selec­ tion process is different in attempt to make the selection as fair as possible. This year nomination surveys were sent out by email to every Regis University student and faculty mem­ ber. The surveys gave students and fac­ ulty a chance to nominate people who they thought were worthy of an award. The nominations had to be submitted Photo by Angela Shugart Photos lay across the photo waiting to be hung as part of the Six Degrees art gallery.

The Six Degrees of Connection art exhibit is making its debut Tuesday April 19 in the O'Sullivan Art Gallery. The showcase features six senior Regis students artwork on display through Friday May 6, hence the name of the exhibit. The exhibit is a part of the art students thesis project. Artists whose work will be on display include Melissa Piazza, Claire Brown, Brianna Burkett, Amanda Gustafson and Vaughan Veasey. ''I'm looking forward to showing my work because most of the time our work is private and not shown publicly so this will be a great chance to show the Regis community what we do that typically stays behind the scenes," says Piazza, one of the artists whose work will be in the exhibit. Piazza's abstract portraits of friends deals with their common love for the mountains and the sport of snowboarding. "My work portrays my friends shared interests ...it's a subject matter that is really important to me and I want stu­ dents to come see it," says Piazza. Like Photo by Angela Shugarts many other student's work featured in Senior Melissa Piazza hangs her art work in the O'Sullivan Art Gallery on Saturday April16 in preparation for the art opening on Thursday April 21. the exhibit, Piazza has spent weeks preparing for the opening day. Brianna Burkett has also been working hard this semester, gearing up to showcase her artwork. "I'm excited! It's really cool to be able to show our work publically; This is my first time showing my work in this manner; I've never done it before so I'm looking for­ ward to it," says Burkett. Her work in inspired by her family and she wants students to come see the exhibit so they too can understand the impor­ tance of the family unit and the close connections she has with her own fam­ ily. Senior Claire Brown's theme for ( her work is secrets. For her final proj­ ect, Brown asked people to blatantly share their secrets with her. "It amazes me first of all, that they would but also once they shared the secret, it made me feel closer to the person," says Brown. "I like to think of it as a study in human nature," she continues. Saturday April 16, artists set up their work on the gallery and prepared for the upcoming Opening Reception on Thursday, April 21 from 4:30-7 p.m. If students can't make it to the opening, they can check out the Commencement Reception held on Sunday, May 8 from noon to 2 p.m. O'Sullivan Gallery hours run Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and Thursday 2-8 p.m. For more Photo by Angela Shugarts information on the gallery exhibit, visit Art students and faculty lay out works of art and figure out where to place them in the gallery space on Saturday.
