Seton Hill University Graphic Design Students help Greensburg Community Development Corporation

Mary Kay Neff's graphic design class participated in a service learning project for the Greensburg Community Development Corporation (GCDC). The goal of the project was to attract a business owner to rent or purchase a vacant building in the Greensburg business district. All students listed to the goals for the graphic design project, brainstormed ideas, and created designs that were presented to the Director of GCDC. After consideration and consultation with the current building owner, Shelby Kyllo's design was chosen to be installed in the vacant building.

Success! Shelby's design work helped to attracted the attention of a business owner who will soon occupy the building.

Seton Arts Service Corps_Summer 2014

“Transforming the lives of children through the arts.”

Caritas Christi hosted Seton Arts Service Corps this summer. Fifty children from the Greensburg, Pennsylvania area were taught by the Seton Arts Scholars. The six scholars are majoring in art, music and theatre at Seton Hill U Division of Visual and Performing Arts. Seton Arts Service Corps is a cooperative program between the Sisters of Charity and Seton Hill University to bring the power of the arts to children.

"The Corps recruits Seton Hill University scholars who bring to the learners their love of the arts, their energy, and their commitment to reaching the next generation. The scholars, in turn, gain the benefit of practicing their profession and creating a real-time learning environment among the children. The collaborative interaction among children, scholars, mentors, and parents assures an intergenerational learning experience."

Here are a few photos from the week.
