It takes a full year to prepare for the expo. Below are some musings about completing senior project.
This year's Expo
The Visual Communication department at Farmingdale State College is honored to present the Spring 2024 Senior Project Expo. This virtual exhibition of student work showcases the hard work and dedication of our wonderful graduating students. This digital format of presentation, while born of necessity, has proven to be a wonderful platform by which to share the work of our students. It was created through the efforts of Professors Donna Proper and Kim Wild. The work and projects presented are from classes instructed by Professor Kim Wild and Professor Mastermaker.
