This year, eight award winners were identified from Graphic Design, Web Design, Illustration, Digital Media, and Digital Photography programs.
Among the winners, Ronald Graham was bestowed the Undergraduate Certificate in Digital Photography award, while Adrienne Schaumann, Deborah Lefever, and Kristy Ren-Hayzlett each received the Associate of Occupational Studies in Illustration award. Dhani Mouttet earned the Graphic Design Advanced Certificate, and Angelique Shipley won the Undergraduate Certificate in Web Design award.
