Patrick Gardner, Director of the Center, several engineering students, and a student in the Department of Communications worked together to bring the ornament to life. Using a rough sketch created by members of the scholarship committee, Annalise Hicks Speer \u201922, transformed the idea into a digital graphic design. The committee then took this design to the students working in the Rapid Center, who created a CAD model to be fabricated using a laser cutting machine. The end result is a beautiful rendition of the Cullowhee Lily, a white flower with six petals, also known as <em>Zephyranthes atamasca<\/em>. The flower once, common in the Cullowhee valley, now grows in only a few spots on campus.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11599 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/affiliate.wcu.edu\/staffsenate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/370\/2022\/09\/Ornament-2022-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>Ornaments will go on sale at Mountain Heritage Day on September 24<sup>th<\/sup> and will also be available to purchase online after that date.
