Title

The College of Fine Arts and Communications strives to support students and faculty in their studies and professional pursuits by providing quality learning experiences in both the classroom and the real world. Thanks to generous donors and excellent educators, we can walk side by side with our students to teach them the skills necessary to succeed in their field of choice.

This past year, a number of disciplines within the college have been able to not only provide students with life-changing experiences, but document them as well.

The Departments of Art, Design and Theatre & Media Arts were able to share all that went into some of their more recent prestigious projects. We invite you to enjoy the work these departments have proudly produced.
