BURLINGTON, VT (12/11/2012)(readMedia)-- To wrap up the fall semester, senior graphic design students are displaying their capstone work on Thursday, Dec. 13. From 6-7:30 p.m., 40 senior designers will present the culmination of their concentrated senior work in the Champlain College Barn Studio (behind Perry Hall on Maple/S. Willard). Director of the Graphic Design and Digital Media Program, Suzanne Glover said that the work to be displayed at the Senior Student Capstone Exhibition this year is incredible. The exhibition is free and open to the public.

Students in the AIGA student group at Champlain College have completed their second competition of the semester.

President of the AIGA Student Club, Chris Erickson '13 stated that Champlain and Burton's competitions are essentially the same, providing the same rules. Design students are encouraged to submit their entries for both competitions, with the chance that their snowboard designs could be used in Burton's Speakeasy and Moonshine lines. For Champlain's competition, two grand-prize winners will be selected by Burton Designers Dennis Healy and Champlain alumni Jordan Carrell, and will be awarded $200 each to the Burton flagship store.

AIGA, the Professional Association for Design, is committed to advancing design as a professional craft, strategic tool and vital cultural force. The AIGA Student Group at Champlain College aims to bring student designers together to interact, assist, and compete with one another while creating a stronger design community.
