Throughout the year, ongoing opportunities are offered to the community and to the field, through master classes, workshops, lecture demonstrations, accreditation courses, conferences, and internships. This “extra-curricular” programming enhances and invigorates the teaching/learning environment for students, faculty, staff, and the community.  Check out the calendar for dates and information.
