Student Spotlight
Refining Their Artistic Voice
"With any degree or program, as you do in life, it鈥檚 what you put into it. It鈥檚 really important to push yourself into feeling uncomfortable, not too uncomfortable, obviously take care of yourself, but it鈥檚 so important to push yourself to talk to that person in your class, talk to your professor, make connections."
