Recognizing Community Partners
Muzzi, Charlotte
I'd like to come up with a way of visually recognizing our community partners in the writing center. Do you know those oak and brass plaques with name plates that they use to record the winners of golf tournaments? Those things cost like $800.
However, we would like something that
1. looks "classy" (i.e. I did not make it out of construction paper)
2. can be added to over time
Does anyone have a good system for this/any ideas?
Thanks!
Charlotte

Have you considered doing a tile mosaic? Each 6x6 inches, or whatever size tiles you want, would be
a mini mosaic of an image of the name of your community partners. This can easily be added upon.
Here is a link of a quick search I did on mosaics. Hopefully it inspires other ideas.=)

I think Will's idea probably covers the bases pretty well, but if you
are still looking for ideas, I have seen a lot of fabric quilts/ fabric
pieces that fit the same criteria that they are able to be added to.
You can have a different student design each one or provide a structured
design so that they all are similar.
Good luck! How did you like Of Montreal this weekend? That was a
Midwest fest!
