Annual Trip to New York City
Each year students from Marshall University's Department of Art and Design travel to New York City for four to five days and stay in hotels in and around Times Square. Faculty accompany students as they travel throughout the city visiting galleries, museums and various other cultural interests. The trip always proves to be incredibly valuable and pertinent to the students' development, and it's great fun. Professor Jonathan Cox manages this event.
Update:
All students planning to attend this year's trip to New York City should attend an orientation meeting on Wednesday February 6th at 5PM in Smith Hall 624.
