#ExperienceCFAC 2024 Creative Works Contest Winners

The College of Fine Arts & Communications Announces #ExperienceCFAC 2024 Creative Works Contest Winners

CFAC Students Awarded Prizes for their Experiential Learning Essays and Visual Media

From Carnegie Hall in New York to the Globe Theatre in London, College of Fine Arts and Communications (CFAC) students are taking their education beyond the classroom. With over 70 entries across six academic areas, the 2024 #ExperienceCFAC Creative Works Contest demonstrates the breadth at which our students are participating in experiential learning and having meaningful, life-changing experiences wherever they go.

Six CFAC and performing arts students won cash prizes for sharing their stories of experiential learning from internships, study abroad programs and more. The students answered the call to enhance inspired learning by working to make a difference in the world, both at home and abroad, through their involvement in humanitarian projects, theatre and arts events and non-profit organizations.

These winning essays and visual media submissions were entered into the College’s annual #ExperienceCFAC Creative Works Contest, which aims to highlight experiential learning that took place during the 2023 - 2024 academic year.

Meet the winners, hear about their experiences and learn more about the Contest below.
