Painting: The Ecstasy of Sonya, by Marian Guerra '14Painting: The Ecstasy of Sonya, by Marian Guerra '14

Four College students in April were selected as Core Scholars for work submitted as part of the second annual Core Scholars Program. Rowan Buchanan ’12, Marian Guerra ’14, Gabriela Pelsinger ’15 and Anneke Solomon ’15 each created a “Core Reflection” that analyzed, questioned, dramatized, interpreted or reflected an idea presented in a Core class. Entries were accepted in a variety of formats, from essays and fiction to sculpture and choreography, with honors going to the most “exceptionally creative and well executed” projects.

Buchanan created a triptych inspired by Ovid’s Metamorphoses, and Guerra painted Sonya reading the story of Lazarus in Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment. Solomon won for her poem “Departure–In Four Parts,” about four characters featured in Lit Hum (Daedalus, Dante, Daphne and Dido), while Pelsinger performed a spoken-word poem responding to Eve’s story in Genesis. Each student received $200 and will have his or her work displayed on the Core website.

See the student's works displayed on the Core website.
