ART SCHOOL LEADERS FROM CHINA LEARN ABOUT PRATT PROGRAMS 

Visiting academic leaders from China meet with Pratt administrators to learn about M.F.A. programs. Sixteen academic leaders from China’s leading universities and art and design schools visited Pratt on October 29 to learn about how arts schools in the United States manage graduate studies, especially M.F.A. programs.

The visiting delegates came from schools across China, including the China Academy of Art, Shandong University of Arts, and Beijing Film Academy. The trip was organized through the China Education Association for International Exchange, a non-profit organization founded by the Chinese government to promote international educational collaboration.

Donna Moran (L), chair of the Department of Fine Arts, guides a tour of a jewelry-making studio. Their visit began with a tour of Pratt’s Brooklyn campus and a visit to the fine arts studios. The delegates were later joined for a roundtable discussion by Provost Peter Barna, Todd Galitz, vice president for Institutional Advancement, Donna Moran, chair of the Department of Fine Arts, Peter Patchen, chair of the Department of Digital Arts, Concetta Stewart, dean of the School of Art and Design, and Associate Provost Marianthi Zikopoulos. The participants exchanged ideas on such topics as degree requirements, student exhibitions and thesis projects, and preparing students for success after graduation.

The chance for leading educational specialists from China to visit Pratt Institute is wonderful and beneficial for students in China. I would be proud to see opportunities for Japan to reach out in the same way. I love all of Pratt's attendees. I keep them in my thoughts most of the day.
