The Ceramics club was busy last week doing two high heat firings in the Old Stone Mill Annex. Many of the bowls were sold at the chili festival in town to raise money for local charities. The Ceramics club has open hours everyday. Head down to the annex to learn more!

Tenant of the Week

Hello all!

Sorry for the silence over the past few weeks as things have been pretty hectic getting everything organized for all the OSM has planned for this year, but in case you missed it, here are the past two tenants of the week, and what great tenants they are!

Tenant of the Week 9/27

Macky Franklin ’11

In a project that he started this past summer at the Old Stone Mill, Macky will continue to work on Bicycle2Bicycle.com, an online social cycling network that he is coding from scratch. Keep up the good work!

Tenant of the week 10/4:

Ian Thomas ‘13.5

A new tenant this fall, Ian will continue his work designing, programming and publishing iPhone and iPad applications. Great to see this kind of cutting edge innovation happening at the Old Stone Mill!

Who’s this week’s tenant of the week? Stay tuned, kids.

Calling All Students with Ideas and Energy

The Student Board has three openings for students to serve a two-semester term beginning in May of 2010 and ending in May of 2011. I invite you to submit an application for one of those three spots.

Members of the Old Stone Mill Student Advisory Board have three key responsibilities: (1) engaging the student body as a whole to help identify and encourage tenant applications; (2) coordinating the use and management of the OSM and OSM Annex to best serve the creative objectives of the tenants; and (3) fostering a student culture that appreciates the challenges of supporting innovation on campus.

Please e-mail a one-page application to Elizabeth Robinson, Director of the Project on Creativity and Innovation in the Liberal Arts, by May 7, 2010 atrobinson@middlebury.edu

Please provide some background on yourself, including what you would bring to the OSM Student Advisory Board, why participation on the Board would be a meaningful use of your skills and talents, and what you would hope to learn from the experience. You must be on campus for both semesters.
