Identity

Art is a way in which we project to others who we are and how we not only understand our own identities, but are able to communicate identity to others. Through our exhibition, we would like to embrace the feeling of anonymity and explore the benefits of it.

Caramia Sitompul: All American Scholar

A&D sophomore Caramia Sitompul has been named to the National Golf Coaches Association All-American Scholar Team.  Sitompul is one of 566 women’s Division I, II and III collegiate golfers, and the eighth Wolverine to be recognized for the prestigious honor.

University of Michigan women’s golfer Caramia Sitompul (Jakarta, Indonesia/Bradenton Prep Academy [Fla.]) was named to the National Golf Coaches Association All-American Scholar Team. Sitompul is one of 566 women’s Division I, II and III collegiate golfers to be recognized for the prestigious honor.

Sitompul, who is enrolled in the School of Art & Design, becomes the eighth Wolverine selected for the national honor, joining Tegan McCorkel (1994), Tiffany McCorkel (1994), Trish Watkins (1999), Amy Talbot (1999), Bess Bowers (2000), Sarah Kruer (2003) and Lindsay Davis (2005)

An Academic All-Big Ten and U-M Athletic Achievement recipient, Sitompul started eight of the nine events in 2010-11. She ended her second season dropping nearly four strokes from her prior best, posting a 78.61 per-round average this season. She recorded career bests in virtually every statistical category, including single-round tally (73), 54-hole tournament total (225) and 72-hole tournament total (319). She helped the Wolverines to nine top-10 finishes and an NCAA Central regional selection—the program’s ninth postseason appearance (team and individual) in the last 11 years.

The criteria for selection to the All-American Scholar Team are some of the most stringent of all college athletics. The minimum cumulative grade-point average is 3.50, and student-athletes must have competed in at least 66 percent of the college’s regularly scheduled competitive rounds during the year.

Lauren Sopher: Student of the Year

Congratulations to A&D Senior Lauren Sopher on being named a University of Michigan Student of the Year!  From the Michigan Daily:

In a school full of the leaders and the best, it takes something extra special to stand out among the crowd. From environmentalism to acting and athleticism to entrepreneurship, these students have gone above and beyond to become the students of the year.

Art & Design senior Lauren Sopher and LSA sophomore Maggie Oliver are not fans of bottled water. Sopher and Oliver gained University-wide recognition this year when they spearheaded a campaign to ban the sale of bottled water on campus.
