RCCAM employs Miami University students for various part-time positions year-round.
Each year students are invited to create an artistic response to a particular topic or question. The responses, which can take a variety of forms and mediums, are then juried for inclusion in the student response exhibition for the following Fall semester. Listed below are a few recent student-created exhibitions.

More Than An Object attempts to resituate objects from across the African continent within the original cultural framework in which they were once part. The pieces on display in this exhibition were made to interact within a broader creative interface, whether for ceremonial purpose, market intent or everyday applications. This exhibition was the culminating work of the Fall 2018 Art & Architecture History Senior Capstone seminar taught by Dr. Jordan Fenton.
