Amy Papaelias (2016)
2016: Amy Papaelias (Art/Graphic Design)
Amy Papaelias was chosen for the mentor award due to her continued efforts to work with students on projects that she characterizes as ‘collaborative.’ Amy fosters an atmosphere of mutual intellectual exploration while mentoring projects at the emergent edge of design practice and her work with students is described as career launching. Her recent mentee, Megan Doty (BFA, Graphic Design and French, '16), contributed in a number of ways to a special issue of Visible Language, including the cover design. Doty commented: “Being exposed to her [Amy’s] participation in a number of communities spanning design typography, digital humanities, pedagogy, and cultural studies was a remarkable factor in my own development.”
