A reception honoring the students is set for 4 to 6 p.m. Friday, April 26. The exhibit and reception are free and open to the public.
“The Graphic Design Student Portfolio Exhibition represents the culmination of four years of dedicated study and unwavering passion in the graphic design field,” said Brian A. Flynn, assistant professor of graphic design and department head. “This showcase illuminates the creative journey of eight exceptional graduating design students, poised to become the future innovators in graphic design. I am excited to see the unfolding of their promising career paths.”

The annual student exhibition displays the best design, illustration and web design work of graphic design majors in their final semester of study at Penn College. For the exhibition, design faculty select the top works developed by each student within their time at Penn College. The exhibition gives students a chance to present their work in marketing, branding, packaging, advertising and design to industry professionals and the community.
Penn College graphic design students have consistently earned recognition through their submissions to regional, national and international advertising design competitions, particularly in the student category of the American Advertising Federation’s American Advertising Awards and the American Institute of Graphic Arts’ Flux Student Design Competition.
The Gallery at Penn College began hosting the graphic design student portfolio exhibitions in 2008.
The gallery is open 2 to 8 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays; 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fridays; and 1 to 5 p.m. Sundays. (The gallery is closed on Mondays and Saturdays.)
