Jason Fowler, Assistant Professor of Graphic Design and Coordinator for the Senior Art Exhibition, shared, “I am so proud of our Seniors. The amount of time, thought and care that they put into their work and the presentation of the work within the exhibition space is a sight to behold. They worked to take our program to new heights this year and exceeded that goal in astounding measure. Our Seniors shared their talents with our campus and, in the process, set a new standard for our program going forward. I am so grateful to each and every one of them and thankful that I got to play even a small part in each of their individual journeys as graphic designers and artists.”
