The art exhibition in Wilkinson College’s Dean’s Suite in Roosevelt Hall was curated by the Escalette Permanent Collection of Art in collaboration with Dean Jennifer D. Keene. Our collective goal was to create a space that exemplifies the missions of the Escalette Collection and Wilkinson College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences and reflects our combined commitment to diversity, inclusion, and equity. The works displayed here present a meaningful connection to the topics, themes, and experiences central to the curriculum and identity of Wilkinson College, the heart and soul of Chapman University. Each of the interdisciplinary minors housed in Wilkinson is represented by at least one artwork, and at least one work by every full-time Art Department studio faculty member is on display. As the hub of Wilkinson College, the Dean’s Suite is a place where all faculty, students, and staff can meet to learn, share, and reflect.
Statement from Jennifer D. Keene, Dean of Wilkinson College
Wilkinson College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences houses vibrant discipline-specific and interdisciplinary undergraduate majors and minors, innovative graduate programs, cutting edge centers, and immersive co-curricular programs. Wilkinson professors have a passionate commitment to the arts, humanities, and social sciences, and their enthusiasm is contagious. Dedicated educators and scholars, Wilkinson faculty embody the ethos of “personalized education.”
Studying the arts, humanities, and social sciences expands your mind, opening up rather than closing opportunity. Where will the next big idea, the gamechanger, the paradigm-shift originate? From individuals driven by intellectual curiosity, creativity, the desire to innovate, and, most importantly, the willingness to ask questions, to challenge old answers, to envision the previously unimaginable and to bring disparate ideas together in new configurations.
The arts, humanities, and social sciences investigate the human condition from different angles and diverse perspectives. These disciplines give expression to our shared humanity, help us find solutions to new problems, and enrich our culture with fresh ways of seeing, thinking, and creating.
Special Thanks
The Escalette’s operations are generously funded by the Escalette Permanent Collection of Art Endowment, Chapman University, and individual donors.
