Acknowledgments

Việt Lê and Elizabeth Travelslight were the Master’s Thesis Project Directors for the 2022–23 academic year. Lê supervised the students’ thesis writing in the fall 2022 semester. Travelslight prepared students for the 2023 Spring Symposium and assumed responsibility for the production of their Sightlines essays and thesis exhibition posters.

Our colleagues housed in CCA’s dynamic academic programs provided invaluable guidance and critique to our students as Faculty Advisors: Nilgün Bayraktar (Film and History of Art and Visual Culture), Angela Hennessy (Fine Arts, Textiles, and Critical Studies) and Marcel Pardo Ariza (Photography).

Cole Ryder, a candidate in CCA’s Graduate Design Program, collaborated with the students to design their thesis exhibition posters.

MacFadden & Thorpe designed this year’s symposium program as well as the poster and banner that advertise this event. It was a pleasure to work with Brett MacFadden, who teaches in CCA’s MFA in Design Program, and Kameron Allen, who earned a BFA in Graphic Design at CCA in 2016. We also thank MacFadden & Thorpe Project Manager Maggie Wallace, who kept us all on track; and Keston Sieg Hinds Cruz (CCA BFA ’21), who typeset this book.

Victoria Gannon was our copy editor and proofreader.

Nicholas Whittington, VCS Program Manager, handled the business side of VCS.

We are grateful for all of our Humanities & Sciences (H&S) colleagues, and we offer special appreciation to Dean TT Takemoto and Director of Academic Administration Mike Rothfeld for their unwavering support.

On behalf of H&S, we express our appreciation for the leadership of CCA’s Provost Tammy Rae Carland and President Stephen Beal.
