The Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum always offers compelling temporary exhibitions that span historical, cultural, and fine art from around the world.
From 2005 to 2014, Saginaw Valley State University alumna, Deborah Hakes worked at former U.S. President Jimmy Carter’s nonprofit organization, The Carter Center. As part of the public relations office, Hakes traveled to more than 20 countries, a dozen with President and Mrs. Carter to raise awareness of and support post-conflict countries often holding their first ever democratic elections.
Impartial, credible observers play an important role in shaping perceptions about the legitimacy of electoral processes. By serving as observers themselves, the Carters also brought awareness to impoverished places and hope to millions. Hakes’ photographs have appeared in the New York Times, Associated Press, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, BBC, and more. She remained a trusted member of the extended Carter Center family and was honored to serve as a family photographer for President and Mrs. Carter’s memorial services in 2023 and 2025.
