I am proud to announce, after a rigorous juried process with over 520 applications, that three of our juniors, Karla Colula, Adriana Cortes, and Maria Figeroa, were accepted into the Art Institute’s ReImagine24  Design Competition.

This is a big honor and they worked very hard to submit a formidable application.
