Thank you Christine Hershey and John Roberts for taking time to come to talk to us on Saturday. I really enjoyed what both of you had to say! Thanks again.
Wow! Thanks for the inspirational and informational presentations! The students learned so much about approaching their work in a socially responsible manner. We truly appreciate you taking time out of your life (a Saturday no less) to come talk with us!
As a student at Westwood I am always learning about new aspects of design, it's processes and aspects of the trade I would have never imagined. Thank you, John and Christine for coming to our school and presenting vital, new information.
Awesome event! Thanks to Christine Hershey & John Roberts, as well as AIGA/LA Education Committee - we (students) are grateful for these opportunities to get the inside scoop.
