We regularly arrange gatherings to introduce and reintroduce our grads to one another and last week we invited a small group to Sal Anthony’s to catch up.  Some alums graduated many years ago and some as recently as last spring.  One couple, Tomás and Kara, even got married along the way!  Staying involved is integral to MFA Design’s DNA, and as Tamara Connolly noted:  “wonderful to see old familiar faces, and meet new people that are part of the community. . . ..I really appreciate that even though I graduated 10 years ago (!!!!) the SVA MFA Design community is still a part of my life.”
