DID YOU KNOW?
The mysterious signs seen on lamp posts around campus are the work of Professor Mary Carothers’ Foundation 2D Design class. Students designed warning symbols for contemporary problems like animal neglect and body negativity and displayed their signs in public to invite discussion on the issues.
