High school students from throughout our district were on campus today, participating in the Graphic and Web Design Career Exploration Event. The high school students helped judge t-shirt designs produced by our first-year students.
They also designed and printed their own t-shirts, with assistance from our students and instructors, Erin Kerkoff and Katie Anderson. It was a great day!
Thank you to everyone who participated!
