Family, friends, the Otis Community, current and future employers, it is with great
                  pleasure that I welcome you to the final showing of the graduating Class of 2023 in
                  Graphic Design/Illustration.
               
               
               This virtual exhibition features illustration and graphic design that ranges from
                  traditional to radical—in thought, craft, social relevance, and entrepreneurial vision.
                  Our graduates were challenged to become their best selves as citizens, artists, and
                  designers under the most challenging circumstances. Featured projects in this exhibition
                  are exceptional because they were conceived of and executed during a unique configuration
                  of instruction, peer to peer engagement, and unforeseen hurdles.
               
               
               BRAVO to these graduates. They will be remembered for their courage and tenacity,
                  talent and optimism. Best of luck to all of them!
