- Professor Michael Holloman was supported in a trip to Colville and Denver in Programming research for Colville Youth/Clyfford Still exhibition slated for 2025 in Denver, CO.
- Dr. Hallie Meredith was supported in financing editing for her upcoming book.
- We utilized excellence funds to support both undergraduate and graduate trips to The National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts conference again this year. Coupled with efforts of our clay club sales student’s attendance at NCECA allows them contact with leaders across the country working in the ceramics industry. At this conference students attend lectures, workshops and exhibitions centered on making in clay. Here they also get to begin relationships with industry partners that supply equipment and materials to the practice.
- Many events were supported with excellence funds in providing light refreshments and advertising.
