LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION honoring Rachel Shelton upon the occasion of her
designation as recipient of the 2011 AICUO Award for Excellence in the

WHEREAS, The arts, in whatever form depicted, are central to human
expression; they are truly a universal language and their contribution
to the development of friendship and understanding among all peoples
cannot be underestimated; and
WHEREAS, It is the intent of this Legislative Body to recognize and
pay tribute to those talented young people who have inspired and brought
pride to our majestic Empire State by achieving outstanding success in
artistic competition; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to honor
Rachel Shelton upon the occasion of her designation as recipient of the
2011 AICUO Award for Excellence in the Visual Arts; and
WHEREAS, The Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of
Ohio (AICUO) Award for Excellence in the Visual Arts is a college-level
competition that allows senior students from independent colleges and
universities across Ohio to compete for a statewide title; and
WHEREAS, Every member institution with an art program chooses top
artists from their schools; from these nominations, a panel of judges
votes for the top six students to be named as AICUO Award winners; a
second round of judging from Ohio's art leaders decides the Grand Award
winner; and
WHEREAS, Rachel Shelton was chosen by the Cleveland Institute of Art
as one of its top artists from the 2011 graduating class; her excep-
tional talent and extraordinary vision captured the attention of the
panel judges, and thus, she was chosen as an AICUO Award winner; and
WHEREAS, As winner of this most auspicious award, Rachel Shelton's
work will be displayed at the AICUO Award reception; furthermore, she
will participate in a special gallery exhibition in the art district of
Columbus, Ohio, and will be in the running for the Grand Award Prize;
and
WHEREAS, Poised eagerly with enthusiasm and determined purpose, Rachel
Shelton now stands honorably, with just pride in her accomplishments and
in eager anticipation of future challenges, understanding and appreciat-
ing the caring counsel and support provided by her teachers and mentors;
and
WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that when young
people of such noble aims and accomplishments are brought to our atten-
tion, they should be celebrated and recognized by all the citizens of
the great State of New York; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor Rachel Shelton upon the occasion of her designation as recipient
of the 2011 AICUO Award for Excellence in the Visual Arts; and be it
further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to Rachel Shelton, 761 West Ferry Street, Buffalo, New York
