Ephemera at Noon — Fall 2025

The Ephemera series returns this fall, presented by ECU COMD and MDes instructors in partnership with the Occasional Press.

Join us in the COMD Studio (C3215) on select Wednesdays from 11:35 to 12:20 to explore the stories paper can tell. Each week features a different theme, with casual gallery-style viewing and open discussion around the show-and-tell objects that you and fellow attendees bring.

Bring something from your own collection, or simply come to browse and converse. Whether you’re interested in design, publishing, or cultural storytelling, Ephemera at Noon is a chance to slow down and appreciate the everyday paper forms shaping our visual culture.
