Our 2023 Graphic Design graduates shared a few of their memories and take-aways from their time here with us. You’ll laugh at their cleverness and be warmed by their honesty. We like them a lot.

Before the evening festivities, our graduates participate in a 3 hour long Portfolio Review process to have their work reviewed by industry professionals from across the nation. This is a private event for only our graduates and the professionals who are lending their valuable time to have one-on-one sessions to review each student’s portfolio.

If you are coming to our Exhibition Opening and Awards Ceremony, be sure to ask our grads how the Portfolio Review went! Though it can seem nerve-wracking, the actual experience is usually quite a confidence boost.
