2012 Alumni homecoming panels The alumni panel provides students with an excellent opportunity to learn firsthand what they can be participating in at Loras to prepare for future careers and graduate schools. These alumni lived in the same places students live, were involved in the same activities, and knew the same professors. This gives current students a chance to hear from alumni about what they are glad they did while they were here and what they wished they would have done. They will share insightful advice that will be beneficial in preparing for life after college.

Voices: Art Slam provides a fun challenge continued from page 1
90 minutes to create a piece of artwork. Three sophomore Loras students, Kalli Olberding, Mark Fuentebella, and Jessica Jandernoa, were selected to represent Loras in the first annual competition. With the four teams working in the middle of the warehouse, the public was welcome to walk around and watch the pieces being created from start to finish. “Jessica, Mark and I met up a few times to discuss how we wanted to approach this competition. The rules were rather simple; using a 3x4 foot canvas, create something within 90 minutes,” said Kalli Olberding. “With a broad range of things we could do, we each created our own drawings. With that, we meshed our drawings and styles together.” Although the Loras team did not place first in the competition, losing to Clarke, it was an exciting event to both witness and be a part of. “The Art Slam was overall a fantastic experience. It was a great opportunity
to be more involved in the art community,” said Olberding. “It’s events like the Art Slam that are a great way to showcase artists from the area. It gathered people together to support and appreciate art in many forms.” In addition to the art slam, Voices has put on a vintage ball and multiple concerts during the month of September. Although the event is beginning to wind down, there are still a few events open to the public. Tonight there will be a screening of the entries in the Canned Film Competition where participants were given 50 hours to create a short film. On Sunday, Sept. 30, there will be a runway show of living art. On Wednesday, Oct. 3, there is a competition between local micro-brewers to be judged by the public, and on Thursday, Oct. 4, Stupid Economy, a one woman show will be performed in the warehouse. It will all conclude on Friday, Oct. 5, with an art gallery tour through the downtown that features Voices as one of the stops.
