Student experiences

"I experienced college life and made a lot of friends from all over the globe. Professor Brack was excellent; she was so nice, thoughtful, and patient as she worked with us. With her instruction, we were all able to improve our artistic skills and our ability to analyze art."
"I loved absolutely everything about my program...the professor, the field trip, and being surrounded by artistically gifted kids."
