After more than 40 years at the West Virginia University School of Art & Design, Eve Faulkes is retiring. Her legacy will live on at the school with the creation of the Eve Faulkes Justice Through Design Endowment.

The endowment will provide scholarships for underrepresented students majoring in graphic design.

The West Virginia University College of Creative Arts has made its selections for two endowed professorships within the college.

Shoji Satake received The J. Bernard Schultz Endowed Professorship in Art and Radhica Ganapathy was awarded The Mabel DeVries Tanner Endowed Professorship in Theatre.

West Virginia University Associate Professor Michael Sherwin turned his long-term photography project focused on Indigenous American presence into a book. Vanishing Points is now available for pre-order.

Vanishing Points began when Sherwin learned a local shopping center was built upon an 800-year old sacred burial ground and village site associated with the Monongahelan culture. 

Summer camps will be offered this year at the West Virginia University College of Creative Arts. Many of the camps have both in-person and virtual options.
