Honors, Innovating to Impact Project Inspired by Volunteer Work with ECAR
Have you seen the Every Campus a Refuge banner on Kellas Hall in Troy? Student Skylar Rowe created it! Skylar says,
"When asked to create a project that was a bridge between the honors program and RSC-301, it took me a while to come up with what I wanted to do. I’ve always loved to create art, so I thought of how I could tell a story with a piece I created that connected to my volunteer work. I volunteered for several Every Campus a Refuge events during the semester which gave me inspiration for the banner I made. I drew monarch butterflies because they are known for traveling thousands of miles, much like many of the refugees that have been taken in by ECAR. I made the wings of the butterflies colors of different flags to represent the different nationalities of those we have helped at Russell Sage. Hopefully there will be many more families to come, each with their own unique journey."
