From jbeekman at fsu.edu Sat Jul 5 16:44:02 2025 From: jbeekman at fsu.edu (Jeff Beekman) Date: Sat, 5 Jul 2025 20:44:02 +0000 Subject: [Art-instructors] April Webb's last day at FSU Message-ID: Hi All, Please join me in congratulating April Webb for securing a full-time Painting + Drawing position at Murray State University, starting this Fall! Given the current environment in higher education, this is no small feat, but one that I'm sure all will agree, is well-deserved. April graduated with an MFA from our program in 2021, and in the four years since then has served our program in a variety of capacities - teaching classes, overseeing CAB MFA and BFA studio facilities, and perhaps most instrumentally as our inaugural BFA Coordinator. In all instances, April has demonstrated professionalism, dependability, and an incredible work ethic that will absolutely be missed. I invite all well-wishers to reach out to April directly (amwebb at fsu.edu) - her last day will be this coming Friday, July 11th. Very Best, Jeff Jeff Beekman Associate Professor, Department Chair Department of Art Florida State University 405.650.9276 (cell) [cid:385233ed-17d7-45f2-aa4f-c758ecce5e93] Book time to meet with me -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

(Yes, this is the same university that also recently hired April Webb - they had better send us some grad applicants!) We are deeply appreciative of the job he's done in this complicated role, and very excited for what the future holds for he and Sam. Chris graduated with an MFA from our program in 2021 and has been our Studio Equipment Manager since 2022. In this capacity he's directly overseen the Sculpture and 3D labs, departmental techs, a variety of summer building projects, as well as found time to teach courses in a variety of areas across the department. I invite all who wish to, to reach out to Chris directly (crrivera at fsu.edu) - again, his last day will be Friday, August 1st.
