Foundation Studies Dean Joanne Stryker visited with alumni and parents on the west coast, with stops in Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. During her presentation, Joanne revisited projects from the archives, talked about Professors present and those no longer with us, and shared updates on new curricular changes in the department.

Alumni shared some of their memories as well!
