Greetings,
As you read this
I hope you’re getting some time to rest during the Holidays, see family and friends
and reflect on the past year. For the
AAGA, it’s been busy this fall. We’re
hard at work and I’m thankful to have a great board that is driven, honest, and
wants the best for our Arts Administration program.
It’s truly an
exciting time for many of us. To those
second year students that recently finished course work, what a great
accomplishment. To those students finalizing
a thesis, congratulations, your diploma is nearly in hand. For all our part time students that will
finish course work this academic year, stay focused and finish strong. And finally to our first year students, take
a moment now and then and slow down—this experience goes by fast!
The memories you create while at Drexel will last you a lifetime. And the AAGA is doing its part to make 2008 a memorable year. Already the AAGA is hard at work planning the 5th annual Art Auction. It’s Friday, February 8th, 7:00 to 10:00 PM, in the Paul Peck Alumni Center. This is a great opportunity for alumni, students, faculty, and professionals to catch up with one another and to support a good cause by allowing the graduate students to raise money to finance a trip to National Arts Advocacy Day in Washington.
Speaking of
catching up, Americans for the Arts (AFTA) will hold its annual convention in Philadelphia, June 20-22. The AAGA is exploring ways to have our
students involved in this national conference. While nothing is final, this event will provide an opportunity for all
of us to come together and learn the latest about our field. I hope to see many Drexel AADM students,
alumni and faculty this June.
To stay current
on the many activities the AAGA is involved in from Organized Art Trips (OATS),
to our spring speaker; please visit our website, www.drexel.edu/westphal/aaga. It’s the best way to find out what we’re all
about! And don’t forget, we want to hear
from you, if have ideas about how to improve the AAGA contact us at aaga@drexel.edu.
Enjoy the year
everyone!
Warmly,
Zeek Weil
AAGA Board
President, 2007-08
