A Message from the Chair

Welcome to the 2025 Graduation Showcase of the Animation Department—a celebration of imagination and innovation that define this year’s graduating class. Our program stands on a solid foundation of creativity, relevance, and forward-thinking practices, forged through dynamic partnerships with leaders in the animation industry. A distinctive element of our curriculum is the mentorship students receive from accomplished professionals—renowned directors, character designers, storyboard artists, and more—who generously share their hands-on expertise and vision.

With this year’s theme, Boundless Horizons, the Class of 2025 demonstrates how new technologies and fresh perspectives can reshape the future of visual storytelling. From immersive experiences to eco-minded production strategies, our graduates have shown remarkable dedication to exploring integrated workflows and meaningful narratives. In their showcase, you’ll see how they balance creative risk with social awareness, pushing the boundaries of what animation can achieve.

Our department remains committed to empowering emerging storytellers to become the industry’s next innovators and thought leaders. Congratulations to the 2025 graduates, whose tireless work and daring concepts promise a bright and transformative future for the art of animation.
