“We’re thrilled to again have a student-focused exhibit that showcases selected applied learning projects throughout their academic careers,” said Matt Hepworth, associate professor and director of the B.F.A. Graphic Design program.

Hepworth noted that the exhibit highlights the students’ creative talent, technical proficiencies, and problem-solving skills. He added that the event offers the community a chance to observe how these student skill sets are evolving alongside their respective industries.
