INDIANA, Pa. — A Warren County student at Indiana University of Pennsylvania was part of an innovative art project for an office within IUP’s Division of Student Affairs.

Kaycee Morgan, a studio art major (drawing focus) from Warren, was part of a student team of artists that created a mural for the Indiana University of Pennsylvania Office of Student Support and Community Standards (formerly the Office of Student Conduct).

Morgan’s parents are Tim and Tonya Morgan, Conewango Place, Warren, and Tracey Gluvna, of Columbus, Pa. Morgan is a 2017 graduate of Warren Area High School.

While at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Morgan won first place in the Indiana University of Pennsylvania 2019 Chalk the Walk sidewalk art contest and has been vice president of IUP Pride Alliance.

Over the course of several years, the Office of Student Conduct has shifted the way that IUP views student discipline, moving toward more intentional restorative and developmental practices to support the educational disciplinary process, according to Adam Jones, office director. In summer 2020, the office changed its name to the Office of Student Support and Community Standards in order to reflect the new direction of supporting and upholding students’ rights and responsibilities.

As a way of expressing the values of the office, an original permanent installation was created by Sharpless and her co-artists, supervised by IUP Department of Art and Design faculty member Ivan Fortushniak.
