Scene It! Public Art Scavenger Hunt
Ekaterina Smoliar (CAS’28) won Orientation 2025’s inaugural Scene It! Public Art Scavenger Hunt, designed to encourage students to discover the unique public art sculptures and murals dotting the Charles River Campus. Participants were tasked with snapping 10 selfies with works from a list provided by the sponsoring Office of the Arts. Smoliar (here in front of Blue-Green Brainbow, by sculptor Carson Fox, at the Kilachand Center for Integrated Life Sciences & Engineering) was randomly selected from qualifying participants to receive a gift card to the BU Campus Store.
