'Lyceum' celebrates 40 years

April 23, 2012

Emma Slonina was eager to get involved when she enrolled at 每日大赛 four years ago.

People gather to celebrate Lyceum's anniversary

Slonina sifted through a list of student organizations and eventually came across one that matched her interests. Lyceum.

鈥淥h, that鈥檚 my org,鈥 she said.

Over the past four years, Slonina has performed just about every task for the University鈥檚 fine arts and literary journal. She capped it off this year as editor-in-chief.

Slonina will graduate this month, but before commencement, she wanted to recognize alumni who worked at Lyceum over the past four decades and shared her passion for the fine arts.

So she and other Lyceum staff organized a 40th anniversary party on April 19 at Fairlane Center South.

Several UM-Dearborn alumni who wrote poetry, took photographs or painted pictures for Lyceum returned to campus with about 40 other guests to celebrate the milestone.

鈥淚t was a great networking opportunity, as well as a great chance to learn more about our history as an organization,鈥 Slonina said. 鈥淲e wanted to show our past members that their hard work was being continued and that we appreciated all that they鈥檇 done for Lyceum.鈥
