This year’s grants total $67,500.
• Even a humble bagel can tell a story for Adam Richman DRM ’03, host of the television show “Man v. Food.” In his talk at the University Bookstore Thursday, Richman explained that “the bagel you have when you’re running to class” has its own interesting history. Starting as a gift for a Polish prince, the bagel made its way with Jewish immigrants to North America and gained inspiration from prepackaged food in the Korean War. According to Richman, it has not yet stopped its journey.
• Few professors would give away the keysto their office, especially to students who want to redecorate them. But Sam Messer, Associate Dean of the School of Art, is happy to do just that. On Thursday, a student-created art installation went up in Messer’s office, also known as “Sam’s Space,” which is located on the first floor of the School of Art’s Green Hall at 1156 Chapel St. The office doubles as an exhibition space open to any student up to the challenge of redesigning the interior, Messer said.
