The Week Here At Tyler

In conjunction with Tyler’s Annual Undergraduate Show, come and hear what the undergraduate Art History students have been working on! These pop-up talks are held in the Tyler Lobby (atrium by Admissions) on Thursday, March 21 and Thursday, March 28 from 11 am – 12:20 pm.

Tyler’s last free field trip will go to New York City for the AIPAD Photo Show on Saturday, April 6. The bus will leave from 13th & Diamond Streets at 9 am sharp and return around 7:30 pm.  If you don’t want to go to the Photo Show, the bus will make a stop at 55th and 8th Streets in midtown Manhattan (north end of the Times Square area, about 3 blocks from the Museum of Art and Design and 7 blocks from the Museum of Modern Art). The bus trip is free. Tickets to AIPAD are $20 for students. You may do anything you like in NYC.

You must be back at 55th & 8th St (morning drop off location) at 4:45 pm OR Pier 94 (AIPAD show) at 5 pm to board the bus; otherwise, you will be left behind.

If you require a wheelchair-accessible bus, you must register and email miss.kari@temple.eduno later than 4 pm on Friday, March 29 so a wheelchair-accessible bus may be ordered.

REGISTRATION OPENS AT 9 AM on MONDAY, MARCH 25

You may only register once–if you have a friend who wants to go, they need to be logged into their email account–if you try to register a friend your registration will be overwritten. If you find you can’t go, please email miss.kari@temple.edu to cancel your registration so someone from the waiting list will be able to go.  Only the first 54 people can come, after that, you will be placed on the waiting list. Assume you are registered for the trip unless you hear from me within 48 hours.

You probably heard that there’s a gender pay gap; women typically earn 80% of what men earn. And it’s not just that men and women choose different jobs, with women typically choosing lower-paying professions; female registered nurses, an occupation that’s overwhelmingly female-dominated, earn only 92% of what male registered nurses earn! This is a persistent problem throughout the American work force, and it needs to be addressed. It has not changed much despite other changes in diversity in the last several years. The statistics are even worse for men and women of color.

Often this is because women don’t negotiate their salaries when they get new jobs. We are hoping to address this by offering a workshop to give students tools they need to negotiation their starting salaries in their first jobs after college.

On Tuesday, April 9, Tyler and TFMA will be co-sponsoring a Creative Salary Negotiation Workshop at 6 pm in Architecture 104. This will be an active, experiential workshop. You are welcome to BYOD (bring your own dinner); we will provide coffee, tea, hot chocolate and cookies.

This workshop is designed to acquaint students with the basics of salary negotiation, specifically geared to those seeking creative careers. Learn the secrets to figuring out how much you need to earn to survive, what your skills/experiences are worth in the marketplace and how to successfully negotiate a fair salary/rate.

All students (both men and women) are invited to attend regardless of major. This is geared towards creative careers and freelancing will be addressed.

Please REGISTER HERE so we know you’re coming and have a workbook for you!

Organized by Tyler Graduate Student Austen Weymueller with a grant from Tyler’s Interdisciplinary Fund, this is an opportunity to share your practice/work/research with a small group of faculty and students from different disciplines, and provide one another with feedback, questions, knowledge, and resources. It is intended to be a casual conversation where you can gain perspectives on your practice from outside your own discipline, give insight to others, and find future collaborators.

It is not necessarily a space to present work that you deem ‘successful’ – it is also intended to be a space where you can talk about work you are struggling with and feel would benefit from outside perspective! Bring questions and thoughts you want to have a conversation about. Each session will be co-facilitated by a faculty member and one graduate student, occurring for
2 hours during an evening. Each will be located in different buildings around the Temple campuses, coinciding with the department of the faculty member. Dinner will be provided!

Sign up to participate in one or all of the sessions here.

My Sister Hali, a documentary by Graphic Design Professor Paul Sheriff will be screened at the Temple Performing Arts Center, 1837 North Broad Street, Philadelphia, on Sunday, March 17 at 4 pm. Everyone is invited to attend.

Prior to the screening Dr. Charles Abramovic and Heidi Jacob, will discuss the process of composing the film score. After the discussion, pianist, Dr. Abramovic and cellist, Jeffery Solow, both professors at the Boyer School of Music will be performing the music for the movie.

My Sister, Hali tells the story of Hali Sheriff, an internationally acclaimed American athlete and front runner for the 1968 Olympic Women’s Gymnastics Team, whose promising life ended much too soon. It was early summer of 1966 when 14 year old gymnastics superstar Hali Sheriff was killed in a plane crash. All six passengers on board the small aircraft died, including Hali’s mother and coach, Virginia, and father, Harold Sheriff. Surviving brothers, Paul (10) and John (16), were not on the plane.

This moving, character driven story of a gifted star gymnast, and the team that cherished her, is told through the resilient eyes of her younger brother, Paul Sheriff. After remaining silent for nearly 50 years, Paul opens up for the first time to revisit the magnitude of Hali’s career, the shock of her untimely death, the traumatic loss of both his parents and its everlasting impact on their small, midwestern community of Blue Mound, Illinois.

The project has been the subject of numerous articles in newspapers throughout the county including the Philadelphia Inquirer. The film opened the doors for Hali Sheriff to be inducted into the World Acrobatic Society Gallery of Legends Hall of Fame in a ceremony this fall in Las Vegas Nevada. In conjunction with Women History Month, WHYY will feature the documentary on Sunday, March 24 at 6:50pm.
