FARMINGDALE, NY — The Farmingdale State College campus is closed, but that's not stopping the Senior Project Virtual Design Expo — an online-only exhibition highlighting the work of 38 graduating students from the Visual Communications Department, the school announced in a news release.

The event is scheduled for Tuesday, May 19 from noon to 11:30 p.m. It can be checked out at this website.

Thirty-eight commercially viable projects created through graphic, interactive, web, and product design will be shown. Viewers will see the artists' work, creative process and future aspirations. The virtual expo offers a glimpse into how students have responded to the coronavirus pandemic, by creating a purely digital learning environment.

"We thought that instead of simply canceling the expo, we could celebrate the culmination of their work by being creative and having them share their work digitally, touching those across the globe right from the comfort of home," said Donna Proper, associate professor in the department.
