Mississippi State art students pose for a picture in the New York offices of Gensler, an international design firm. Over fall break, 20 graphic design and fine art students went to New York City to learn more about art and design. The trip included visits to artist studios, the Textile Arts Center in Brooklyn, many Manhattan museums and galleries, a special viewing of illustrations and comics in Columbia University's rare book collection, and a boat tour narrated by the American Institute of Architects.
