Advisory Board and Senior Portfolio Review: Thursday May 8th, 2025
The School of Technology, Art & Design (The TAD School) is hosting our annual portfolio review sessions in person again this year! Our design seniors will once again have the opportunity to present their work in person to family, friends, classmates, and our volunteer reviewers. This is very exciting for the seniors and faculty here, as you can imagine.
In each review session, students will seek feedback from expert reviewers, who will provide critical analysis of the work, allowing the students to proactively adjust their portfolios before entering the world as professional artists, designers, and makers. Thank you all for your ongoing interest and support for our unique program and our amazing students.
