The theme of mentorship encompasses the breadth of the work produced by full time and adjunct Art & Design faculty. The relationship to their respective practices is essential to their interest in and ability to nurture and guide students. Their own work ties to and stimulates the passion that guides their teaching. It demonstrates their relationship to each other as colleagues as they, in turn, were mentored by teachers when they were students. In this way they all make an important contribution to Suffolk University as a whole.
