Learning from the fantastic professors, as well as other students, I have gained so much confidence going forward in art after my degree from Eastern."

"The art department here at Eastern is probably one of its strongest departments. The one-on-one attention and care we receive is so refreshing compared to crowded lecture halls where one can get lost in a sea of faces.

The art department has been a true family to me for the past three years and I will miss everyone so much."
