Clemmer College of Education. Also closing will be Jack Vest Drive from the intersection of State of Franklin Road across from the entrance to the VA Medical Center campus to the intersection with North Dossett Drive. This closure includes all parking in Lot 21.
These roads will be closed until Aug. 19 as construction of the new student parking garage is completed and roads are relocated. During this time, the west end of the ETSU campus will only be accessible from J.L. Seehorn Drive. Persons needing to park in Lot 22A will need to enter that area from Greenwood Drive.
John Robert Bell Drive will remain closed permanently to create a pedestrian walkway for students using the new parking garage as well as other parking on the west side of campus.

&lt;p&gt;Serpan, one of the inaugural students participating in the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Training Site at ETSU, qualified for the Pan Am event through her performance in the National University Championships and World Pan American Championships Qualifier weightlifting meet, which was hosted in April at ETSU.  There were over 200 competitors at this meet, which was the first national-level meet ETSU hosted since becoming a designated Olympic Training Site. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Serpan competed in the 75+ kg (165+ lbs.) weight class, winning first place in the snatch, lifting 101 kg (223 lbs.); second place in the clean and jerk, lifting 130 kg (286.5 lbs.); and second place in the total, lifting 231 kg (509 lbs.).  ETSU&amp;rsquo;s Women&amp;rsquo;s Weightlifting Team placed second in the meet, and the Co-Ed Weightlifting Team placed third. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Pan Am event will be the fourth international competition for Serpan, who will try to qualify for the World Championships in October. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &amp;ldquo;It is a blessing to compete in this event,&amp;rdquo; said Serpan, a senior allied health major from Clearwater, Kansas.  &amp;ldquo;It&amp;rsquo;s a challenge and a way to take my competition to the next level. It&amp;rsquo;s also a stepping-stone for my training toward the Olympics.&amp;rdquo; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Serpan&amp;rsquo;s goal is to compete in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as well as the 2020 Olympics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;</content:encoded>

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;The exhibition, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;At The Moment: Photography and Abstraction as Bridge to Figuration&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; features Bristol and Abingdon-based Virginia figurative artists Leila Cartier, Sam Morrow, Anna Nenonen, Perry Johnson, Jenny Snead and sculptor Marvin Tadlock. The work in the exhibition address various interests in the human form either by manipulating the abstract or the photographic image as either pre-processing technique, a response to the &lt;em&gt;&amp;ldquo;traditional media thru the virtual&amp;rdquo; &lt;/em&gt;or the abstract form as bridge to content. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;Perry Johnson describes his recent body of work as &amp;ldquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;inquiry into our stewardship of humanist ideals.&amp;rdquo; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;In his figurative paintings of ordinary people, workers and individuals portrayed while performing mundane activities, he questions the achievement of humanity, labor and development. Johnson stated, &amp;ldquo;o&lt;em&gt;ne can make a living and never have a life. Work that engages our faculties and satisfies our senses is a blessing not afforded us all.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt; He added, &amp;ldquo;&lt;em&gt;work has efficiently been reduced to mere labor, the individual is brought to the level of a machine.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt; Yet he tries to respond to reality with humor and layered meanings in his work that allow a multitude of interpretations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-indent: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;In parallel trajectory, Jenny Snead deals with social realities through her work, providing a voice to the disenfranchised few. Snead reveals to have experienced various levels of poverty in America first hand &amp;ldquo;&lt;em&gt;during child and as an adult in public housing in Southwest Virginia.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt; Her art provides an insight to the people whose lives are characterized by abject poverty and lack of opportunity, as visualization of the p&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;eople that live in poverty, who &amp;ldquo;&lt;em&gt;rarely have the opportunity to have their voices heard, and are very often misunderstood and disenfranchised.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-indent: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;The figurative tendency is also employed in Anna Nenonen&amp;rsquo;s work with the existential and redemption as its underlying current. Nenonen believes in the transformative potential of art, and the power of imagination to the development of humanity, thus,&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;&lt;em&gt;r&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;edemption from the mundane, from the ordinary, from the inevitable ties that bind us, the ties that seem unbreakable yet we know that it is humanely possible to raise above them and fly towards something that is of lasting value.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt; Nenonen refers to nature and its various manifestations in relation to the human condition.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-indent: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;Meanwhile, Leila Cartier&amp;rsquo;s painting of the female figure and anthropomorphized animals &amp;ldquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;call upon heightened experiences of nature, perceptions of beauty, and modern day social constitutions.&amp;rdquo; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;Cartier describes her work as having the quality of &lt;em&gt;&amp;ldquo;Darwinian manifestation of embellishment and performance&amp;rdquo; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;in order to &amp;ldquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;draw attention to the universal driving forces behind the character, impulses, and charades of living beings&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;.&amp;rdquo; Her human portraits often display flamboyant gestures while the non-human images that are portrayed in &amp;ldquo;&lt;em&gt;grandiose posture, unusually evolved appearance, and the way these attributes mimic those of their human counterparts.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt; In her work, photography is significant element, with her paintings occupying space that emphasize the blurring of &lt;em&gt;&amp;ldquo;reality and what is perceived.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-indent: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;Sam Morrow&amp;rsquo;s work in the exhibition seems to provide transition between that of the socially-engaged work by Johnson and Snead towards the more introspective works by Nenonen and Cartier. As an artist, he is inspired with the concept of the modern artist as an observer of culture. His current series are inspired by police mugshots from the internet, oftentimes of women &lt;em&gt;&amp;ldquo;caught in traumatic situation and their reaction to it&amp;rdquo;. &lt;/em&gt;He compared&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;the&lt;em&gt; &amp;ldquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;zombie-like gaze while confronting the police lens,&amp;rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt; as similar to the one that individuals &amp;ldquo;&lt;em&gt;staring into a laptop computer.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt; He considers the information age and its tools as both the &amp;ldquo;&lt;em&gt;eye onto the world and one that examines us as prey.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-indent: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;Marvin Tadlock, the sole sculptor in the group employs &lt;em&gt;abstraction as bridge &lt;/em&gt;to his visual commentary of other significant ideas. He describes his art as primarily about &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;form and design, which he achieves by replicating &lt;em&gt;&amp;ldquo;form, animate, and morph it into a new and totally different form -one with associated meaning a world apart from the original.&amp;rdquo; He added, by employing this&lt;/em&gt; process selectively, he is able to introduce content, or commentary, into his work.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description><![CDATA[The ETSU Department of Art  Design and Slocumb Galleries present At The Moment: Photography and Abstraction as Bridge to Figuration exhibition from June 19 through July 12 with the artists reception on July 2, Tuesday from 5 to 7 p.m. 
The exhibition, At The Moment: Photography and Abstraction as Bridge to Figuration features Bristol and Abingdon-based Virginia figurative artists Leila Cartier, Sam Morrow, Anna Nenonen, Perry Johnson, Jenny Snead and sculptor Marvin Tadlock. The work in the exhibition address various interests in the human form either by manipulating the abstract or the photographic image as either pre-processing technique, a response to the traditional media thru the virtual or the abstract form as bridge to content. 
Perry Johnson describes his recent body of work as inquiry into our stewardship of humanist ideals. In his figurative paintings of ordinary people, workers and individuals portrayed while performing mundane activities, he questions the achievement of humanity, labor and development. Johnson stated, one can make a living and never have a life. Work that engages our faculties and satisfies our senses is a blessing not afforded us all. He added, work has efficiently been reduced to mere labor, the individual is brought to the level of a machine. Yet he tries to respond to reality with humor and layered meanings in his work that allow a multitude of interpretations.
In parallel trajectory, Jenny Snead deals with social realities through her work, providing a voice to the disenfranchised few. Snead reveals to have experienced various levels of poverty in America first hand during child and as an adult in public housing in Southwest Virginia. Her art provides an insight to the people whose lives are characterized by abject poverty and lack of opportunity, as visualization of the people that live in poverty, who rarely have the opportunity to have their voices heard, and are very often misunderstood and disenfranchised. 
 
The figurative tendency is also employed in Anna Nenonens work with the existential and redemption as its underlying current. Nenonen believes in the transformative potential of art, and the power of imagination to the development of humanity, thus,  redemption from the mundane, from the ordinary, from the inevitable ties that bind us, the ties that seem unbreakable yet we know that it is humanely possible to raise above them and fly towards something that is of lasting value. Nenonen refers to nature and its various manifestations in relation to the human condition.
 
Meanwhile, Leila Cartiers painting of the female figure and anthropomorphized animals call upon heightened experiences of nature, perceptions of beauty, and modern day social constitutions. Cartier describes her work as having the quality of Darwinian manifestation of embellishment and performance in order to draw attention to the universal driving forces behind the character, impulses, and charades of living beings. Her human portraits often display flamboyant gestures while the non-human images that are portrayed in grandiose posture, unusually evolved appearance, and the way these attributes mimic those of their human counterparts. In her work, photography is significant element, with her paintings occupying space that emphasize the blurring of reality and what is perceived. 
 
Sam Morrows work in the exhibition seems to provide transition between that of the socially-engaged work by Johnson and Snead towards the more introspective works by Nenonen and Cartier. As an artist, he is inspired with the concept of the modern artist as an observer of culture. His current series are inspired by police mugshots from the internet, oftentimes of women caught in traumatic situation and their reaction to it. He compared the zombie-like gaze while confronting the police lens, as similar to the one that individuals staring into a laptop computer. He considers the information age and its tools as both the eye onto the world and one that examines us as prey. 
 
Marvin Tadlock, the sole sculptor in the group employs abstraction as bridge to his visual commentary of other significant ideas. He describes his art as primarily about  form and design, which he achieves by replicating form, animate, and morph it into a new and totally different form -one with associated meaning a world apart from the original. He added, by employing this process selectively, he is able to introduce content, or commentary, into his work.

This traveling exhibition, which will be on display through July 26, includes informative panels featuring photographic reproductions of original documents, including a draft of Lincoln&amp;rsquo;s first inaugural speech, the Emancipation Proclamation and the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution.
It is organized by the National Constitution Center (NCC) and American Library Association Public Programs Office and made possible by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH): Great Ideas Brought to Life.  The traveling exhibition is based on one of the same name developed by the NCC.
In connection with the exhibit, the Reece Museum will host a series of free public lectures sponsored by the Department of History.
The first will be &amp;ldquo;Words Fitly Spoken: Abraham Lincoln, the Constitution, and the American Civil War&amp;rdquo; by Dr. Stephen Berry, chairholder of the Gregory Chair in the Civil War Era at the University of Georgia.  The former NEH fellow is the author of House of Abraham: Lincoln and the Todds, A Family Divided by War and All That Makes a Man: Love and Ambition in the Civil War South.
Berry&amp;rsquo;s 6:30 p.m. lecture on Friday, June 14, will take place in conjunction with the exhibit&amp;rsquo;s opening reception, which begins at 6 p.m. at the museum.
&amp;ldquo;We are delighted to have been selected as a site for this exhibition,&amp;rdquo; said Theresa Hammons, Reece Museum director.  &amp;ldquo;As a new president, Abraham Lincoln was faced with enormous challenges.  This exhibit shows how Lincoln struggled with issues of secession, slavery and civil liberties &amp;ndash; all questions our country&amp;rsquo;s founding charter left unanswered.
&amp;ldquo;Each section features information about a different aspect of Lincoln&amp;rsquo;s presidency.  For example, the section about slavery examines the various policy options Lincoln once embraced and how his thoughts about slavery evolved over time.  Most importantly, the exhibit helps visitors understand why Lincoln&amp;rsquo;s struggle with the Constitution still matters today.&amp;rdquo;
Admission to the museum, reception and lecture is free.  Museum hours are 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday; 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Thursday; and 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday.  Parking passes are available for weekday visits, and groups may call ahead for tour reservations.

This exhibit combines Don Dudenbostel&amp;rsquo;s photographs and Tom Jester&amp;rsquo;s field recordings, based on their three years of research among moonshiners, serpent-handlers, Mennonite farmers, cockfighters and others who still engage in traditional mountain practices.
&amp;ldquo;By the mid-1900s, outside perceptions and inside realities about the people living in Appalachia were beginning to emerge,&amp;rdquo; according to the East Tennessee Historical Society. &amp;ldquo;Some people played to the popularized &amp;lsquo;hillbilly&amp;rsquo; stereotype for financial gain, launching successful singing/acting careers, building themed tourist attractions and marketing national products. Others sought to capitalize on the economic momentum created by the arrival of such federal initiatives as the Tennessee Valley Authority and the Manhattan Project.
&amp;ldquo;Still others, like Don Dudenbostel and Tom Jester, came to realize certain aspects of mountain culture were disappearing in the face of progress.&amp;rdquo;
Inspired by such famed 1930s photographers as Dorothea Lang and Walker Evans, Dudenbostel diligently went to work documenting this culture. Jester&amp;rsquo;s field recordings accompany Dudenbostel&amp;rsquo;s photographs and give the subjects a voice, allowing them to speak freely about their practices and traditions.
Dudenbostel says he did not set out to preserve disappearing mountain culture. He started photographing things he found interesting, but as he noticed traditions slowly fading away, he began to document mountain life more aggressively.
&amp;ldquo;I really had no concept over 50 years ago that time would change so quickly,&amp;rdquo; Dudenbostel said. &amp;ldquo;I just felt that it was important. Once this culture has disappeared, it&amp;rsquo;s not returning.&amp;rdquo;
&amp;ldquo;Vanishing Appalachia&amp;rdquo; is one of four exhibits that will be on display when the Reece Museum reopens April 23 after being closed for two years for an extensive, $1.7 million renovation project. The other three are &amp;ldquo;We Shall Not Be Moved,&amp;rdquo; a traveling exhibition from the Tennessee State Museum that examines the civil rights sit-in movement in Tennessee; newly commissioned paintings of ETSU by local artist Bill Bledsoe; and &amp;ldquo;Country Music in the Tri-Cities.&amp;rdquo;
The Reece Museum&amp;rsquo;s new hours will be 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday; 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Thursday; and 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday. Admission will be free. Parking passes are available for weekday visits to the museum, and groups may call ahead for tour reservations.

climb hills, practice resistance drills, sprint, hover over the seat, etc. The drills will &lt;br /&gt;
