This evening honors the work of graduating illustration seniors. Please join us as we begin with the inspiring words of our guest speaker Brian Rea, and move on to a reception featuring food, drink, and most importantly, the portfolios of our soon to be graduates.

We welcome design professionals, alumni, and faculty to mix with our seniors and speak to them about their work in a casual atmosphere.
