The College of Visual and Performing Arts celebrated the start of a new academic year at our Return to Campus event, bringing together students, faculty, and staff from across VPA and the university!

A special highlight of the event was creating alongside Mike Miller, West Reading muralist, as our VPA community came together through painting, creativity, and collaboration. President Phil Cavalier joined in the fun, adding his mark to the murals!

Students, faculty, and staff from the Departments of Art & Design; Art Education; Communication Studies; Cinema, Television and Media Production; and Music came together to celebrate the creativity and community that make VPA such a special place. It was a wonderful way to kick off another exciting year on campus!
