This is from Rebecca who spoke in class monday regarding the BFA:


"Here's a link to our BFA student work.  It hasn't been updated since last Spring, but should be by the end of the semester.  They can click on the images and see more work by each artist.  You may also want to mention the Photo BFA show which is Nov. 28-Dec 2 in the Gatov and Merlino Galleries.
