Alicia Parham | DCII Graduate Student Summer Fellowship Recipient

Alicia Parham, a graduate student in the Division of Art, received a 2025 DCII Graduate Student Summer Fellowship for her innovative project, The Neuroarchitecture of Iceland and Its Fine Art Applications, and has been utilizing the awarded funds to further her project research in Iceland. Her project explores how the brain responds to built environments by recording EEG brainwaves in religious and historical architectural spaces across the country.

While in Iceland, she will travel from Reykjavík to remote areas like the Westfjords and the Arctic Circle, collecting brainwave data from a diverse array of churches and sacred sites such as Goðafoss. Using a custom-designed program, Parham transforms this data into dynamic visual outputs, altering color, shape, frequency, and perspective, in order to create abstract oil paintings, videos and snapshots of an emotional state reflected by the brainwaves. You can check out some of Parham’s previous work with EEG brainwave art !

Olivia Clotaire | MMIAM Program Participant in Italy

Students in Meadows’ Master of Management in International Arts Management (MMIAM) program, including Olivia Clotaire, spent a week in July at Castello di Potentino focused on arts and cultural development in rural communities. Clotaire and her fellow program participants learned alongside Greg Warden and his team on the Potentino Exploration Project, while supporting their research at an Etruscan site on the property. Students also assisted the castle’s owner, Charlotte Horton, with two consulting projects for her nonprofit, Friends of Potentino, which supports the family and arts/cultural initiatives.

Before heading to the countryside, students got a VIP morning visit to the Vatican in Rome where they unlocked doors to the museum alongside the staff. They later engaged in a panel discussion with the management team including the gift shop representative, gaining insight into the Vatican’s complex challenge in crowd management and institutional governance. Following their stay at Castello di Potentino, Clotaire and the other students will wrap up the year-long program with a celebration in Milan.

Spencer Hogan | Social Media Intern for Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Spencer Hogan, a student in Meadows’ Temerlin Advertising Institute (TIA), accepted a summer social media internship with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after being approached by the team's Chief Marketing Officer, James Ruth. Ruth, an ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ Cox graduate, had previously discovered Hogan’s creative work for ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ Football via Twitter and LinkedIn and recommended him to the team for the gig.

Before beginning his internship in July, Hogan had the chance to tour the facility and meet the talented staff behind the team’s content. He is working alongside this team of industry-leading creatives while soaking in as much knowledge and experience as possible. And though no two days are the same, the dynamic nature of the role is part of what fuels Hogan’s passion for the field of sports media. And for Hogan, this is more than just an internship—it’s a pre-cursor to his post-graduation plans. When he earns his degree from ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ in December, he will be joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to pursue a sports media career full time.
