Development Grant Virginia Tech has named its $100 million arts center building in tribute to artist and
philanthropist Patricia Buckley Moss, whose recent donation in support of the center is one of the largest
gifts the university ever has received. The Moss Arts Center is the new name. In her advocacy work,
Moss, who self-identifies as dyslexic, has cited her personal story of struggling in school until an openminded teacher recognized her artistic potential. Moss wound up enrolling in a high school for the fine
arts and, later, in New York's Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art. "The arts can
change people's hearts, change their minds, and change their lives," Moss said. "I was lucky enough to

was interested in the intersections of visual art and hip hop culture. She had never physically touched a

Workshop
Digital Pedagogies and the Hip Hop Based Archive: New Directions in Hip Hop Based Education was a
two-hour interactive workshop facilitated by Joycelyn Wilson and Emery Petchauer, a hip hop education
researcher at Oakland University. The workshop provided an audience of students, teachers, and ed
researchers with an overview of the ways that hip hop is used for educational purposes in and out of
schools among diverse groups of youth and youth influencers. They explored the interconnections
between hip hop practices, artifacts, digital media, and pedagogy. By practices, they referred to
sampling, battling, graffiti art, movement, artifact collection and creation, and other practices that take
place in hip hop spaces. By artifacts, we refer to vinyl records, cds, digital media, turntables, and text
that people use while creating hip hop. The ethnographic materials used in the workshop included
artifacts from the Four Four Beat Project, Dr. Wilson's research project located in the Virginia Tech
School of Education. Participants engaged in hands-on and ears-open activities with these ethnographic
