–Angela Riechers, Visual Arts Journal

The program threw me right back into studio practice full swing. The wheels in my creative brain that had been stagnant for a while started turning again once the critical feedback and discourse started.
–Cay Yoon, alumnus, Painting and Mixed Media; Sculpture, Installation and New Media Art

I can trust my gut more, now that my work has gone through this kind of scrutiny, and I'm less likely to let things slide if I don't think they're quite right.
–Carl Alviani, alumnus, Design Writing and Research Summer Intensive
