Congratulations to Kristen Layton, a graduate student in the Art Education I.M.A. program, for being selected as the 2019 Teacher of the Year at her work! 

Kristen teaches art full-time in an elementary school in North Carolina, and commutes to Columbia to take graduate classes every week. It's not an easy feat, and we're so proud of your accomplishments as both an artist, student, and educator.

Graduate students in the Art Education graduate programs take education, studio, and art education courses depending on the specific degree program. The Art Education program at the University of South Carolina is led by four faculty members: Minuette Floyd, Olga Ivashkevich, Hyunji Kwon, and Blair Lindsey.  Visit the full article at the UofSC School of Visual Art and Design web page here.
