ANNOUNCEMENTS

ALUMNI, FACULTY, STAFF 
INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN 
PRATT’S 125TH ANNIVERSARY 
MEMORY PROJECT

As part of Pratt’s 125th Anniversary celebration, we’re launching the Pratt 125th Anniversary Memory Project, which will document the recollections of Institute alumni, faculty, and staff over the past 125 years. Pratt’s history spans some of the most important events of the 20th century—events that helped shape our culture and continue to influence society. Now, we’re turning to you to help us capture and preserve these precious stories.

Do you remember the elevated train that once ran through campus? The exhilarating classes with your favorite professor? The mood on campus and your response to the Vietnam War or the aftermath of September 11, 2001?  We invite you to share your most compelling memories and images of Pratt Institute through the decades. Selected submissions will appear in a special commemorative issue of Prattfolio, on the Pratt website, and in promotional and other materials related to Pratt’s 125th Anniversary. 

You may send your submissions to the 125th Anniversary Memory Project, including photographs (300 dpi at 100%, if possible), via email to 125memory@pratt.edu.

Please include your contact information and Pratt affiliation, including degree and year if you are an alum.

Live Horses Model on Brooklyn Campus

Students with sketchbooks and cameras crowded around Gracie, a Welsh pony, in the Sculpture Park at the Brooklyn campus for a live horse modeling session. For more than a decade, the annual event has been organized by Film/Video and Photography Professor Sarah van Ouwerkerk, to give students the chance to draw, paint, film, or photograph live horses from various angles. Gracie was accompanied by trainer Ben Goldberg (pictured) and Brando, a thoroughbred horse. The horses attracted students from many programs. Gracie, Brando, and Goldberg made their trek to Pratt from Fair Hill Farm in Tyler Hill, Pennsylvania.
