Orchesis Honor Society was created in order to recognize and promote scholarly and creative activities within the field of expressive arts. The goals of the organization include providing a forum for exchange among graduate students of expressive arts, building an expressive arts community outside of the classroom, and hosting expressive arts gatherings, workshops, and open studio experiences. Orchesis is a Greek word meaning "a moving ensemble".

Requirements for induction to Orchesis:

  • be in at least your second expressive arts class
  • have and maintain at least a 3.5 GPA
  • present 3 expressive arts pieces (could be visual art, performance art, poetry, etc.) at the induction ceremony
  • $25 one time membership dues (Dues are payable before or at induction. Checks should be made out to Orchesis Honor Society)

The hope in this is that family and friends of graduating seniors may also attend and therefore have the opportunity to get a sense of what the expressive arts community is about...[More Details TBA] [View the Fall/Winter '07 GLOW Art Gallery]**
