The new year and the start of the Spring 2021 semester not only bring exciting opportunities for creativity, but also a chance to kick things off on a positive note with some good news from our community. Even as we were all enjoying a much-needed break over the winter holiday, many instructors, students, and alumnx were getting accolades for recent work and projects. Below is a list of just some of the recent news about the Otis Community, with links to read more. 

This summer, travelers arriving and departing from LAX will be greeted by art and design work by six Otis College seniors from three departments through a partnership with Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA). LAWA has debuted original art and design work created by students for an annual summer selfie campaign, "100percentLA" organized by Guest Services to enhance the guest experience. Work from Woodbury University students is also included in the project.  

On any given day you might find senior Aaron Gonzalez sitting in the Commons drawing ideas; in the printmaking lab creating his own sketchbooks; or at the skate park next door to campus, an added bonus of going to Otis College of Art and Design. He might be hand-lettering announcements on the chalkboard in the Communication Arts office where he works part-time, or utilizing the campus laser-cutter in the 3D printing shop.
