Two new exhibits of student work from instructor Joanna Yoder's Digital Photography course are available for yearend viewing in The Madigan Library and at the Community Arts Center. “I had the pleasure of working with a very energetic and creative group of students ... this semester," Yoder said. "It was wonderful to witness the camaraderie and teamwork in this unique group of students who often challenged and encouraged each other to push themselves to take creative risks."
