Art Gallery

Arcadia Exhibitions 

215-572-2131
Arcadia Exhibitions Website

Arcadia Exhibitions organizes programming for four distinct gallery spaces on campus throughout the calendar year. Its goal is to provide a broad-based community constituency with a stimulating roster of individual and thematic exhibitions of contemporary art ranging in scope and stature from the regional to the international. 

Public lectures, panel discussions, gallery tours, and receptions generate vital contexts for each exhibition while also serving as a forum to encourage dialogue among artists, educators, students, and the general public about contemporary art and its socio-cultural relevance. 

The Gallery Spaces

The Spruance Gallery, a 1,100-square-foot facility housed within an 1892 power station designed by Horace Trumbauer, is a nationally recognized venue for contemporary art in the greater Philadelphia area. Since 1985, this space has provided the region with a stimulating roster of individual and thematic exhibitions, which often travel to other venues and are occasionally accompanied by publications.

The Harrison and Rosedale Galleries host exhibitions that typically focus on the creative, intellectual and cross-disciplinary endeavors of the greater University community, including work by students, faculty, staff, and alumni, as well as with other academic institutions, both local and international. Located in the University Commons, these venues are home to such events as the Juried Student Biennial, the Alumni Spotlight Exhibition and the Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA) Juried Student Art Exhibition, which highlights the art of local high school students.

The Judith Taylor Gallery, located in the Landman Library, is a space dedicated to hosting exhibitions organized and created by students, either individually, in groups, or as part of a class. Any student currently enrolled in a university art course may sign out the space to present their own work, or to curate an exhibition of the work of others. For more information, contact exhibitions coordinator Matthew Borgen at 215-572-2629.

Additionally, students have the opportunity to become involved with Arcadia Exhibitions through Arcadia University’s work-study program as well as by enrolling in courses offered through the Department of Art and Design’s minor in Arts Entrepreneurship and Curatorial Studies. 

Art Research Collaboration (ARC) Exhibition Program

215-572-2629

Consisting of three exhibition spaces located in the University Commons and the Landman Library, the ARC Exhibition Program presents exhibitions focusing on the creative and intellectual endeavors of the greater University community, including work by students, faculty, staff, and alumni.

The Harrison and Rosedale Galleries focus on exhibitions that present cross-disciplinary efforts between the campus art community and other university departments, as well as with other academic institutions, both local and international.

The Judith Taylor Gallery in the Landman Library presents exhibitions generated by Arcadia students.

Activities sponsored by the ARC Exhibition Program include artist lectures, panel discussions, gallery talks, and live performances. For more information, call 215-572-2629.

Mail Services

Campus Post Office
Dining Complex, Ground Floor
215-572-2109 
 

The Campus Post Office is located on the ground floor of the Dining Hall Complex next to the Bookstore. Arcadia students, faculty members and staff can purchase stamps, envelopes and mail packages during the window hours—weekdays, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Students have a choice to pay for these services using cash or by charging to their student ID. Student ID charges must have a minimum $5.00 purchase.

All resident students will be assigned a campus mailbox. Mail sent to a resident student at Arcadia University should be addressed as follows:

John Smith – Student
Arcadia University
450 S. Easton Road
Glenside, PA 19038

Commuter students will receive a mailbox upon request. Do NOT instruct the sender to put your mailbox number on your mail and please avoid using nicknames. This will create delays or possible non-delivery from the Post Office. Students will not have the same mailbox every year. Each academic year, any returning student will have a different mailbox than the one from the previous year. Students can pick up their new assignment at Mail and Print Services each September.

Students will be notified via e-mail when a package has arrived for them. The contents of the e-mail will have the student’s name, time package arrived, package carrier (UPS, FedEx, Amazon and USPS), and sender of the package. (Please note that some places like Amazon consider a package delivered when it reaches the Glenside Post Office. They will send you an email stating that your package was delivered even though the Arcadia mailroom will not pick up that package until the following morning at 9am. Once the package is scanned in you will receive the email from mailandprint@arcadia.edu )

Mail and Print Services cannot forward mail to a student’s home address. After the academic year is over, we suggest that students change their address back to their home address for any mail they want to continue to receive during the summer (Netflix, credit card statements etc.). Students can request a summer mailbox at the end of the year if they plan to stay on campus. All first class mail and packages will be returned to the sender if mail is unclaimed or a summer box is not requested. The USPS prohibits mail to be forwarded from a temporary address (Arcadia) to a permanent address (home).

Office of Engagement & New Student Programs

Office of Engagement & New Student Programs
University Commons, 215-517-2481
studentengagement@arcadia.edu  

 
The Office of Engagement and New Student Programs (ENSP) supports integrative learning, growth, and development through student organizations, leadership initiatives, and social, educational, and cultural programming for new and current students.  Through fulfilling our mission, students develop five core competencies:

  • Personal development involves an understanding of oneself and is the first step toward personal success and fulfillment. Students will build resiliency and develop an awareness of self, assessing personal strengths and identifying areas of growth for continued development.
  • Interpersonal networks is the development of deep personal connections with others based upon reciprocal honest and direct communication, sincerity, and mutual respect for others. Students will interact effectively with a variety of individuals and groups to create meaningful relationships and communities.
  • Leadership development involves a spectrum of skills and character qualities that result in a well-rounded student prepared to influence positive change on the community. Students will understand that leadership is a lifelong process, is relationship-oriented, and situational in nature.
  • Developing social responsibility and civility require students to demonstrate ethical behavior, take action against injustice, be informed, and be an active, engaged community member. Through these interactions, students will gain an appreciation of diversity, respect for others, and acquire essential skills for their life after college.
  • Students experience professional development which enhances effective leadership, employability, and lifelong learning while fostering intellectual curiosity and an ability to relate knowledge to daily life and larger contexts. Students will create a professional identity by fully integrating and utilizing learning that happens both inside and outside of the classroom.

The Office of Engagement and New Student Programs is located on the first floor of the University Commons. The Student Government Organization (SGO) and Student Programming Board (SPB) also have offices in the University Commons on the second floor, and space is available for all student groups to meet, work on projects, conduct business, and create programming related to their organization. The University Commons also serves as the living room of campus, a place for students to study, unwind, and relax. Housed in the University Commons includes The Chat, Game Room, and Great Room.

Writing Center

Writing Center
Daniel Schall, Director
Landman Library (Lower Level)
215-572-4051

Website

Located in the Lower Level of the Landman Library (and online), the Writing Center offers assistance for students with any written assignment, for any course/discipline and at any stage of the writing process. Consultants can help with understanding assignments, brainstorming paper ideas, organization, clarity, documenting final drafts, and much more. Consultants are trained in critical reading, writing and analysis, and we provide structured, collaborative conversations to help you understand your own writing process more fully.

The Writing Center offers three types of appointments: face-to-face in the Landman Library (our most popular), synchronous online sessions through Zoom, and asynchronous online sessions through Google Docs. The Writing Center is typically open Monday through Friday during posted hours. Though drop-in consultations are usually possible, at busy times of the semester it is best to make an appointment. 

To make an appointment for any of the services above, head to our Scheduling System in Accudemia. (Note: You must be signed-in to PortalGuard.) Students may also contact the Writing Center through email at writingcenter@arcadia.edu, or by calling 215-572-4051.

Students interested in becoming paid consultants should contact the Director of the Writing Center for prerequisites, or apply to the Writing Center's open positions through Handshake.
