Pulp, Ink & Thread (P.I.T.)
P.I.T. is the official Interdisciplinary Book & Paper Arts organization that seeks to maximize our learning experience through collaboration, departmental discussions, and raising awareness about the program in the outside world. As a Book & Paper graduate student you are automatically a member and entitled to participate in any of the events that are held by the organization as well as benefit from any scholarship or travel opportunities. All students in the Interdisciplinary Arts Department are welcome to join and add their experience and opinions.
P.I.T. works with the Inter-Arts and Book & Paper administration, staff, and faculty in regards to policy, curriculum, and studio concerns by holding a monthly meeting where you, the dutiful member, can air grievances, praise current policy, or suggest new ideas. Every other month we invite said administration, staff, and faculty to hear our suggestions and answer our questions. Often times delicious food and drink will be served. Establishing a working relationship with the Book & Paper Alumni Association is also a priority that can help keep us connected when we go and start a new Book Arts Revolution.
We provide exhibition and curatorial opportunities for Book & Paper students and sponsor a twice-yearly sale of Book & Paper student work to raise funds for P.I.T. activities. Ever vigilant, our members research opportunities for and organize educational field trips. We represent our program at such conferences as the Annual Meeting of the Friends of Dard Hunter, Southern Graphics Council, CODEX, Pyramid Atlantic, and College Art Association. Not by any means least, we strive to establish and begin funding a much needed new Book & Paper Scholarship fund.
