We are offering a number of exciting events for our students this spring semester. These events will give students a firsthand opportunity at networking with industry professionals and the chance to hear from esteemed leaders in publishing about important topics within the industry.

Please find our spring 2021 calendar of events below. Our first event in our Friday Night Network series is a conversation about graphic novels with Professor Paul Levitz on Friday, February 19th at 6 pm. Professor Levitz, former President and Publisher of DC Comics, will be speaking with Milton Griepp, proprietor of ICv2.com, a leading business-to-business website about comics. They will talk about the state of the graphic novel, which is rapidly expanding, touching on estimates of the growth, changes in audience, and how the content itself is shifting.
