The MFA alumni continue to make outstanding progress in your professional lives. The reports received this year of alumni activities in exhibition, publication, and teaching have been truly impressive, and any university would find them exceptional.

Please, please, please send us your news and activities since March 2011 to Cardonskyd@wcsu.edu. They will need it by March 1st at the latest, but earlier would be better!
