Betsy Johnson '06
"All of my professors were great at what they teach and have a passion for what they do. I think because of their passion for art it spills over into the classroom and makes the classes that much more enjoyable, even for those who aren't art majors." read more

"In my major and minor departments I felt very connected with the faculty and staff. I enjoyed being a face in the classroom rather than a number. The one-on-one connection with the teachers and the students, and the learning that takes place within this small classroom setting, was one of my most valued memories of UNE." read more

I was offered the position of editor-in-chief and remained so until my graduation. For two years I gained hands-on knowledge about the editorial and publishing process, which was a great opportunity for me." read more
