September 26, 2008 — by Kavya Nagarajan

MAP program progresses smoothly, progress on Media Arts building still slow
September 22, 2008 — by Ben Clement

Although talk about building a media arts center began nearly a year ago, the blueprints have now been completed, and the school will soon be moving to the next step of the approval process.
