The School of Visual Communication Design at Kent State University will showcase the portfolios of its graduating seniors at an annual gallery show, culminating in a public reception. The senior portfolio exhibition, “The Art of Communication,” will be open in the Art Building Gallery on the Kent campus from April 15 through April 18. Gallery hours are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

At 6 p.m. on April 18, a reception for the senior students will take place in the gallery. The public is invited.

Visual communication design is the fourth largest major at Kent State University and one of the largest and most comprehensive in its course offerings in the United States. Graduates of the program have obtained design positions in every major American city. Alumni work appears regularly in design exhibitions and in published annuals of regional, national and international competitions. The program is nationally recognized for outstanding quality in design education.

The program provides a comprehensive professional preparation, the development of conceptual and aesthetic skills, a knowledge of design history and tradition as basis for individual style, and the transformation of theory into practice through professional example and experience.

The school offers three bachelor’s degrees, two master’s degrees and two combined bachelor/master’s degree offerings. Virtually all graduates of the programs are placed in employment immediately after completing their degrees. 

The seniors’ portfolios are available for review at www.vcdseniorshow.com.
