    Share your project ideas with students and faculty to discuss how
    you might make your own creative connection to social change.*

    Participate in small discussion groups.
    *Explore the development of your project ideas, meet with other
    students who are interested in combining the arts with social
    change, and engage panelists in brainstorming and discussion. *

    Students at all levels of the Divisional process are welcome!*

Our five panelists will show and discuss their work for 15 minutes each.
This second part of the evening will be about 40 minutes, and there may 
be a chance to report back to the panelists some of the ideas and 
questions that get generated.
