Emma Miller ‘20, Content Editor, What Do You Meme?
Major: English – Creative Writing; Minor: Political Science

Curating Exhibitions for Contemporary Artists
Thursday, February 10, 6:00 – 7:00 pm ET
Kimi Kitada ‘10, Jedel Family Foundation Curatorial Fellow, Charlotte Street Foundation
Majors: Art History, Classics
What is the most creative aspect of what you do? Exhibition planning and working closely with artists! In my most recent exhibition, I worked with Le’Andra LeSeur (Bucknell Class of 2010). Our freshman year, we met in the Arts Residential College way back in 2006. Le’Andra has an incredibly rich, engaging artistic practice. I followed her work for several years, and I was honored to collaborate with her on an exhibition called With Liberty and Justice at Charlotte Street.
Leadership Roles in Film and Media
Thursday, February 17, 6:00 – 7:00 pm ET
Katrina Medoff ‘13, Co-Founder of Women’s Weekend Film Challenge
Majors: French, Theatre & Dance; Minor: English – Creative Writing
What is the most creative aspect of what you do? So much! With our film challenge, it’s fun to cull through hundreds of applications to put together teams of talented women. We’re really hands-on as producers, and we visit all of our film sets (we have anything from six to nine films shooting at once) to put out fires. Anything can happen when you put hundreds of strangers together to make a film in a weekend, from locations falling through to interpersonal conflicts.

Thursday, March 3, 6:00 – 7:00 pm ET
Jordan Gibson ‘16, Creative Director, Odyssey Narratives, LLC
Major: Psychology; Minors: Film & Media Studies, Philosophy

What is the most creative aspect of what you do? I believe it’s everything. From moving pixels to brainstorming a whole new user flow that no competitors have before. Designers work with cross functional teams, where you meet different people each day, sometimes you need to get a little creative even when you communicate.
