On Saturday, June 12, 2021 the MFA Class of 2021 offered Virtual Summary Project Presentations. Through applied research methods, each Summary Project was a culmination of a student's inquiry into an arts field of practice. Projects serve as a representation of students' pursuit of arts leadership through an intersectional lens towards equity, empathy, and value.
