Andrew Kearns has settled into his classes and schedule within the AFO department. He did well on his midterm reviews in both Space and Drawing, and said his most recent Space project was one of the favorite he has done. Kearns is also going to meet with an adviser in the Global Education office to plan on a study abroad trip. “I definitely plan on doing another year overseas,” said Kearns, who spent his senior year of high school in France as part of a rotary exchange program.
Kate Rancka
Voice
Kate Rancka has started to plan her second semester of VCU, with a few more obstacles than average students. She placed out of her first semester of music theory and her first semester of piano, so she has been working around the manual class additions and prerequisites. Rancka is continuing to participate with the Commonwealth Chorus and completed her first choral concert, the VCU choral classic.
