Through study and practice of the arts, we learn to articulate ideas about ourselves, our traditions, and our environments in ways that are exceptionally direct. Students work with physical objects, make things with their hands, and grapple with forms and ideas from many eras and cultures. Art expands awareness of the world and enhances our ability to communicate. Visual literacy and cultural awareness are essential to informed, responsible, and reflective engagement in the modern world.

I'd like to offer them my very best wishes as they prepare for Senior Convocation and Commencement this weekend.
