On Friday, April 8, 2022, Moore College of Art & Design recognized the students who have excelled in their artistry and academics. The ceremony was presented in a hybrid format, where students, families, faculty and staff could gather to honor the recipients of awards, fellowships, the Dean’s List and the Valedictorian. 

“This year especially, these students’ accomplishments mean that they have overcome much hardship in order to succeed in a changed academic landscape,” said President Cecelia Fitzgibbon. “We know that they could not have done this without the loving community around them.” 

Curatorial Studies major Shannon Ferrari, pictured above, was named Valedictorian for the Class of 2022.
