Dean Chris Garvin and the College of Design, Art & Performance hosted President Moez Limayem and his staff for an afternoon at the arts district.
The visit included a tour of the BFA Thesis Exhibition at the Carolyn M. Wilson Gallery, given by Art & Art History major, Savannah Harris. The President even requested a ceramic bull while interacting with students at the fine Arts Building!
The tour continued with conversations among the leadership team, faculty, and students about the college’s impact at local and international levels.
Students representing the college’s four schools, architecture & community design, art & art history, music, and theatre & dance, gathered for a group photo.
We appreciate the President and his staff for spending the afternoon with us!
