Welcome to our new website

We're still in the process of getting all of the site content in place, so there's not much to look at just yet. But the framework for the site is up, and we hope to take care of the rest this summer.

When finished, our website will serve as an information hub for Character Animation students, a resource for prospective students, and a place to let the world know what we're all about. Perhaps even more importantly, it will serve as an ever-changing showcase of our students' work, and as a point of connection for students, faculty and alumni.
