o r F e g a a M s s n e a M De Welcome Families and Friends to the Lesley University Community On behalf of Lesley University, we invite you to join our campus community for this special annual weekend. Family and Friends Weekend is the University’s time to celebrate the fall season in New England, honor our rich and spirited history, and enjoy the company of students and their families, faculty and staff, and all members of the extended Lesley Community. Experience off-campus
tours highlighting areas of interest in Boston, take in our campus art galleries highlighting student work, and enjoy our annual Jazz Brunch. We encourage you to bring those who love and support your student to Lesley University the weekend of October 12th. It will surely be a time to remember. We look forward to reconnecting with many of you then.

The wunderkammer, or cabinet of curiosities, has a long history as a collection of objects arranged in categories imposed by the collector, sometimes comprised of specimens from natural history, other times works of art, and at others an assortment of fabricated objects to fool or astonish. The cabinets origin lies in the 15th century Renaissance when scientists, scholars, monarchs, and aristocrats began to organize collections based on scholarship, status, and a love for the exotic and bizarre. Curator of the exhibit, AIB faculty member Bonnell Robinson, will be giving a presentation in the gallery beginning at 2:15pm.
