The night of September 3rd opened with Lita Talarico welcoming the first-year students into the MFA Design program.  Faculty were invited to introduce themselves and summarize their classes. Stefan Sagmeister, Sue Walsh, Willy Wong, Gael Towey, and Stephen Doyle were among the faculty that spoke. 
First and second year students mingled with faculty and each other while enjoying food and drink. Excitement was in the air.
