Alumni Spotlights
The CoA+A is proud of the accomplishments of our alumni. Below are short profiles of some of the many former students who demonstrate in their work the core themes of the College’s vision: professionalism, global perspective, environmental engagement, connectivity with community, collaboration, and the emergence of new ideas, skills, and practices.
