UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- The Results Of An Innovative Collaboration Of Forestry And Art Education Will Be Unveiled At A Reception For The Opening Of A Graphic Art Poster Exhibition On Forestry Topics At 4 P.m.on Tuesday, March 29, In The Main Lobby Of The Agricultural Administration Building

The posters are the result of a creative undertaking between Penn State's School of Forest Resources and the department of integrative arts. Students in the junior year graphic design studio class underwent an orientation and training on the critical issues facing Pennsylvania's forests.

The studio class was taught by Keith Cummings, assistant professor of graphic design, and the forestry sessions by Sanford Smith, cooperative extension specialist in natural resources and youth education. The posters will be used to educate youth across Pennsylvania through exhibitions, presentations and publications.

The reception will be hosted by the College of Agricultural Sciences and refreshments will be served. All are welcome to attend. The posters will be on display until May.
