The twenty-third annual Copper Country Art Gallery Exhibition presents artwork from 78 artists of the upper Midwest and lasts for an entire week starting May 17. This art show is professionally judged and is a major regional event. It takes place right here on campus in the Walker Theatre. I have gone to the show the last two years, and the entries are amazing. Much of the artwork is wildlife, reflecting the interests of this area.
Graduation is the last current event of spring term.
The ceremony takes place Saturday of finals week in the SDC hockey arena. There are some students who took only three years to earn their BA degree, but I know others who took six years to get the same degree. This doesn't include the number of people staying to work and do research. I think it's a combination of both.
