Bruce Garrity Artwork

The new lobby of the Paul Robeson Library is now the temporary home of some of Prof. Bruce Garrity's paintings. They are very colorful and really liven up the space; taking in all the elements of each canvas would take several viewings so even if you've seen them be sure to look again.

Big Purple Flowers

Right outside the Rutgers Camden student center there are some very large, deep magenta hibiscus-y looking flowers. Make a point to walk past now as they are very lovely but likely to fade soon.
