Hands-on Curatorial Experience

Art history students stepped out of the classroom and into the curator’s role in a new exhibition at the SU Art Museum that puts them face‑to‑face with 17th‑century works. By researching, selecting and writing gallery text for Undressed: The Nude in Dutch Art, these seniors gained career‑ready experience.

The Science of Stellar Destruction

When a star strays too close to a supermassive black hole, it’s torn apart in a brilliant cosmic blast that can briefly outshine an entire galaxy. A new study involving an A&S physicist shows how a black hole’s spin can twist the stellar debris, helping explain why no two of these dramatic stellar deaths look the same.
