Color and Memory in the Square Cases

The square cases at the first level of the MU Student Center now feature two small but meaningful displays that continue our exploration of art, color, and community at Mizzou.

One case extends the spirit of Colors in CoMO, the exhibition on the ground level, by highlighting work by an MFA student from the School of Visual Studies. This display features a series of risograph prints that explore the visual possibilities of color combinations. Each print is organized around a distinct theme, showing how shifts in palette can create different moods, relationships, and visual rhythms. Together, the works invite viewers to think about color not simply as decoration, but as a language of structure, contrast, and emotion.

The second case presents a group of objects generously donated by Terry Fillmore Weston, Mizzou Class of 1967. The display includes a set of Tiger tumblers, a Little Sisters of Minerva sweatshirt, and an Alpha Tau Omega Spring 1966 Formal beach towel. Though modest in scale, these objects carry a strong sense of campus history and personal memory. They reflect the social life, school spirit, and shared experiences that shaped student life at the University of Missouri in the 1960s.
