Professor Ashley Beatty and her Advanced Photography students received a shout out from the FWPD and 21Alive regarding their ongoing calendar project to support the fundraising for Blue Line Paws, a nonprofit supporting retired police K-9. The photography department alongside the graphic design department, headed by Jeremy McFarren, collaborate to make each year a unique and different concept.

We are excited to have Jeremy McFarran participating this year, it will be his first year working on this project with his students and he plans to bring some fresh thoughts and approaches to the calendar!
