CRES News & Student Work
CRES and its students have been busy in the second year of the new major! As the academic year comes to an end, we are excited to share general news about the program as well as select student works. The student works posted below are meant to display the wide diversity of creative and marketable skills that CRES courses foster, but they are by no means exhaustive. Such rich in-class activities are central to the major in CRES and are intended to underpin the high impact co-curricular opportunities that CRES students will be encouraged to engage as they move through the program.
