Hello CAS Faculty and Staff, I hope you all had a good end of the semester and were able to enjoy Staff Appreciation Day yesterday. As we’re heading into summer, I wanted to let you know about some opportunities with CAS social media. CAS has Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages which we use to promote classes, research, events and the accomplishments of our students, faculty, staff and alumni, and we’re about to add a LinkedIn to the roster. We want our social media pages to be as engaging as possible and we’re always looking for ways to promote our various departments, so if you have any content you would like posted to the CAS social media pages, let us know! Feel free to send us any graphics, flyers or news stories that you think deserve a home on our CAS socials. We’re also happy to help you create graphics to promote your events on social media if you would prefer. Just send us your event information with at least a one week notice from the day you would like it posted, and we’ll get it done! Please send any social media requests to cassocial@okstate.edu. Go Pokes! Kaylee Piatt CAS Communications Specialist |

Pokes PodCAS Episode 48: Celebrating Cinco de Mayo, which probably isn't about what you think, with Monse Solórzano
|
We’ve all seen the Cinco de Mayo banners, signs and social media posts advertising discounted Mexican food and margaritas. However, how many of us have stopped to consider the history of Cinco de Mayo and what it means to some Mexican Americans? “It’s a very thin line between appropriation and appreciation,” said Monse Solórzano during our conversation about Cinco de Mayo celebrations in the United States. |

Faculty Scholar Spotlight: Dr. Jennifer Borland, Department of Art, Graphic Design and Art History

I am an art historian who specializes in European art and architecture of the later Middle Ages (roughly 1100-1500), with research interests that include medieval medical and scientific imagery, medievalism and the history of collecting, audience experiences of visual culture, and representations of gender.
