            <title>Aurora Campus Put Up For Sale</title>
            <link>http://www.waubonsee.edu/news_topic_summary.php?NewsID=1986</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Aurora - With the start of classes in Waubonsee Community College's new downtown Aurora Campus just a year away, the college has announced that its current campus, located at 5 E. Galena Blvd., is now for sale. 

Waubonsee has offered classes at a variety of locations in Aurora since 1967. In 1986, Waubonsee opened its current downtown Aurora Campus on Stolp Island. The 88,000-square-foot facility is a merger of two historic buildings - the Block & Kuhl Building and the Stanley Building. Waubonsee renovated the property for its academic use and retained the period detailing on the exterior of both buildings. The campus has been home to the college's Workforce Development and Adult Education departments, as well as a number of credit programs. 

Waubonsee's new 132,000-square-foot downtown Aurora Campus will open for classes in August 2011. Located just across the Fox River from the current campus, the new campus will be comprehensive, offering a wider variety of courses and services so that students can start and finish an associate degree entirely in downtown Aurora. Information about the new campus can be found at  waubonsee.edu/aurora .

All inquiries regarding the sale of the historic facility should be directed to U.S. Equities Realty Vice President Andy Norman at (312) 456-7065 or anorman@usequities.com. More information regarding the sale can also be found at  5EastGalena.com .]]></description>

Harris will speak about his work at a lecture from 1 to 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 8, in the Arrowhead Room. The lecture is free and open to the public. 

	Harris focuses on small-scale ceramics/mixed media. He utilizes a combination of small found objects to create molds out of such materials as plastic, silicone and expandable foam. To complete his pieces, Harris then uses mixed media such as hair, liquid beads, Gellie paint, Floam and digital photography.

	After earning his associate degree from Waubonsee in 2000, Harris went on to earn bachelor's degrees in both sculpture and ceramics at the University of Illinois. Harris then attended The Henry Radford Hope School of Fine Art at Indiana University, earning his master's degree in 2007.
