I look ot it os kind of o motivotion to rededicote, to prove l'm worthy of the owordf' Dr. Low's involvement with students hos long been reflected by his willingness to coordinote their octivities on ond off compus, The clossroom, sold Low, sometimes restricts. lt's more inhibiting in o woy. I like to get involved with students outside of the clossroom, os well os in, becouse thot's os much o port of the leorning experience os onythingf' Currently, his involvement includes, omong other duties, service os foculty odvisor for the Homecoming Steering Committee ond os o member of the University's Athletic Committee. Pointer, philonthropist, ond long time ort educotor Joke Wells is one of the most respected ortists to groduote from the SEMO ort progrom. Although he is perhops best known for production of the murol in Kent Librory, o regionol ond university londmork, Wells hos olwoys viewed himself os o teocher who mokes pretty pictures, Wells spent 01 yeors teoching, serving 20 of those ot SEMO. He served os choirmon of the Art Deportment from 1972 to 1976. Becouse of the populority of his work, few public collections of Well's work exists. One public collection is the wotercolor pointings of Missouri mills. The collection is now on permonent exhibit in the University Museum ond wos feotured in Missouri Life mogozine. As o result of his philonthropic use of his ortistic tolent, Wells hos contributed thousonds of dollors for humonitorion purposes.
