The students are doing all the creative for the Exhibitions and Visiting Artists series as well as the new alumni relations group and other college Advancement projects.

We found that the immense volume of work passing through our department (about 120 publications last year) and our evolution to using many digital communications platforms required us to bring in some specialized talent on certain projects.

We’re hoping to expand the video capabilities in Design Group for next year to provide even more student content.

The new DesignLab is also a great outlet for student to work on marketing projects, and the number of students with local internship opportunities has expanded as well so Design Group is no longer the only place on campus for students to get experience.

I hope that answers part of your question?

Please feel free to contact me directly with any other concerns you may have. We put great effort into the blog specifically to generate feedback from our CCAD community.

Thank you for making the time to post a response. I tried to reply directly to your posted email, but it keeps bouncing back.

I think it’s very unfortunate that an art school is not using the talent it is building up for work they are building them up for. And I don’t mean inbreeding with local companies. Use the students, and be proud of their work.

This is terribly disappointing.
