Some have current work and written articles published in Communication Arts , Critique and Print . At the end of every spring semester, a juried Graphic Design Student Show is exhibited in the college Art Gallery. The show honors the work of the best students. The top pieces earn well deserved ribbons for excellence. In the final class of the program, Presentation Art, each student prepares a body of his or her best work for a portfolio presentation.
Students design their resume, stationery, a business card and a self-promotion piece.
On the last day of class, the Graphic Design Program Advisory Board, a panel of highly respected professionals, is invited to listen to the students present their portfolios and thoroughly evaluate their performance as a designer and as a presenter. Following this presentation, a networking luncheon is held by the students to provide them with the opportunity to make industry contacts.
