A Year in Review!

Hi All, Emily Miethner here! First of all, I finally designed HAGA a logo! And it's pretty ballin.

As co-founder/co-president/president of HAGA, I couldn't be more proud of all we've done as such as young club...it's really incredible. HAGA has become a household name on the Hofstra campus, and I'm confident the club will continue to grow and accomplish more and more. Here is a list of our achievements from this year.

• NAAAS featured in Newsday, AM New York, and the Fine Arts website.
  
• Participated in Relay for Life and raised $695
• Created a viral ad campaign for Hofstra Earth Day 2010, with each member designing a poster.
• Three Successful Photoshop Workshops
• Sponsor of Hofstra MusicFest
  
• Trip to New York City (Chelsea) to check out galleries
• Continued the Applebees Thursdays Tradition

Fall:

• Good vs. Evil Gallery Opening
  
• Making Strides Breast Cancer Walk
  
• Photoshop Workshops
• Co-sponsored the Art of Healing and had a full display case of members artwork.
• Started the Applebees Thursdays Tradition
• Co-Sponsored FONT party
• Dave and Busters End of the Year Dinner
• Trip to New York City (Lower East Side) to check out galleries and The New Museum

We'll give you $2!

Students, if you take our survey about the event we'll give you $2 off your "Starving Artist" tshirt! Although the night went extremely well, we are always looking for ways to improve, as this was only the second time we've run the event! Please be honest with your feedback and feel free to share any thoughts on the event, through the survey or through email.
