Assistant faculty, Jordan Acker Anderson, Fine Arts, and Lynn Diener, Sciences, began a cross-disciplinary collaboration to bridge the subject of science with studio work created by art majors. The objective of the ongoing collaboration is to engage art students in a visual dialogue about science, increasing their interest in an outside field by entering scientific information through a visual perspective. The work was published in the Journal of Chemical Education, Vol. 86 No. 2 February 2009, as two separate articles penned by Acker Anderson and Diener: "News from Online: Statospheric Chemistry" and "A Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration." Original artwork by ten Mount Mary students was published through the articles, on the cover and alongside related features.
