Throwback to 1964 🤯 Ms. Nōssi was a student at @waylandbaptistuniversity
This article in the newspaper highlighted the exhibition which Ms. Nōssi displayed her watercolors she created while studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Iran. Her work was inspired by Persian poets and in the work of traditional Persian artists. 🎨“Delicate brushwork presenting minute is characteristic of her watercolor paintings, most of which illustrate poems and stories of her native land.”
How cool is that?!?! 😎 🎨

Happy Retirement Ms. Mary Alexander 💙
Thank you for all you have done for our students the past twenty four years! You will be so missed and we are so happy for your next chapter of retirement. Ms. Mary’s last day on campus is tomorrow September 12th, go give her a hug! 💙
“For the past 24 years, Ms. Mary dedicated herself to the mission of this college. She has been part of countless graduates’ successes. Back then, my father Ira hired the staff, my mother Ms. Nossi the faculty. I remember Ira coming into my office and telling me “She’s going to be a good one!”. He was spot on (usually was about those things). Mary quickly elevated the department by contributing in all areas of admissions. As we grew the department and the college, she earned the Admissions Director position. Ms. Mary worked tirelessly, seeing the college grow and evolve in size and stature. From a school in a strip mall, to a campus with regional presence. She now deserves to hang it up and enjoy the perks of retirement.”

Our incoming Illustrators had the best icebreaker activity during Student Orientation yesterday- tattooing our Nōssi mannequins! 😎🎨 Everyone split into groups to sketch out tattoo concepts based around how they were feeling about beginning college. The collaborative process was so cool and the results look amazing 🤩 #firstdayofschool #tattooart
