a testament to its quality
degree programs, the School

Scenes from Around the World” opens at the Castle Gallery.
Featuring more than 100 creches donated to the College by
Eileen Maxwell Canty ’55 and her husband Jim to form the
beginning of the College’s Kate Canty Creche Collection, the
exhibit includes creches collected by the Cantys during their
world travels over the past two decades.
CNR President Stephen
