Marquis celebrations

A look at the Bicentennial regional events that have been making their way around the country and Lafayette communities since October.

At the George Washington Presidential Library in October, guests learned about the special relationship between Washington and Lafayette, and received an advance look at the Lafayette exhibition taking place in Paris now through July 14.
In California, Eric Hupe, assistant professor of art history (pictured, left), highlighted arts accessibility by way of virtual reality, showing the group, including David Fraser ’69 (right), how headsets can transport people to experience art history sites around the world.
The most recent regional event was held March 19 at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles.
Mentorship between head baseball coach A.J. Miller ’11 (pictured, above) and Charles A. Dana Professor of Economics Susan Averett was the theme of the luncheon discussion held in February at University of Miami’s Watsco Center. Afterward, the group took in a sunny baseball doubleheader between the Leopards and Hurricanes.

In the College’s first installment of regional events, more than 150 members of the West Coast community gathered at Oregon State University, even taking in a football game over the weekend—the farthest west the Leopards program has ever traveled in 144 seasons.
