• 7 Stages of Dementia Map
  For my map, I decided to construct a non-traditional map. I wanted to demonstrate the stages of the brain while it battles dementia. Dementia is a neurocognitive disease associated with memory loss, loss of motor skills, and many more physiological and sensory symptoms. Currently, there is no known cure. Most of the time, dementia gets clumped into Alzheimer’s disease. Still, they are not necessarily the same thing and there needs to be just as much research going into dementia as Alzheimer's. This subject is extremely important to me as my grandmother lost her battle with dementia in May of 2022 after fighting for almost 7 years. The lack of treatment plans and adequate care-taking training needs to be remedied. Furthermore, the map I created moves from left to right with dementia as the common factor. The map takes you through brain scans done of a brain through each stage of dementia. The 7 stages of dementia include no cognitive decline, age-associated memory impairment, mild cognitive impairment, mild dementia, moderate dementia, moderately severe dementia, and severe dementia. Throughout the patient’s decline, brain tissue shrinks and ultimately reduced the total mass volume of the brain and essential factors for a human to function correctly. Each stage is a landmark in the journey of a dementia patient and it is irreversible. This map is meant to be used to raise awareness of the increasing frequency yet lack of resources to manage dementia.

The minute and hour hands of the clock are traditional black arrows, but the seconds hand is golden and curves with the shape of the clock.

  This is a thick, cloth headband with Van Gogh's painting "Sunflowers," printed onto it. It has a variety of colors of yellows, greens and browns in it.

It is approximatly 24 cm wide and can cover the majority of my head. One side is meant to face the front of my head since that is where the elastic is while the other side is meant to face the back of my head since it has no elastic. It is made out of polyester, created by the Van Gogh museum, and was probably made within the last year.

• “RIT Keeps Growing Under Urge of President,” Democrat and Chronicle, June 13th, 1952
  This article from the Democrat and Chronicle by Don Record, discusses the important role of President Mark Ellingson to RIT’s continued growth. In terms of Ellingson’s impact consider that he took office in 1936 and by 1954, RIT’s assets and endowment had quadrupled, and its budget had sextupled. He was President during RIT’s acquisition of the Empire State School of Printing and the School for American Craftsmen. He also oversaw the renaming of the institution from the Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute (RAMI) to Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) in 1944. Ellingson serve as president of the Institute from 1936 to 1969.
