  TESTIMONIAL

"I am pursuing a BFA because I want to learn what it takes to be a professional working artist by professional working artists. I've already earned a BS from a larger institution where I felt like just a number. At SSA I can explore my creative passions while being seen and heard. I spent so many years giving my time to things I had to do rather than what I wanted to do. Pursuing my BFA is me taking a chance on myself and my talents. Something you're passionate about should always have the opportunity to be explored."
