College of Fine Arts Embraces the Internal Control All-Star Credential

Several colleges, departments, and individuals have found value in the WSU Internal Control All-Star credential, with more than 100 All-Stars earning recognition already.

Under the leadership of Dean Marie Bukowski, the College of Fine Arts has 15 All-Stars. I recently met with them to express my appreciation and inquire about their most memorable takeaways.

Most Memorable Takeaways 

To facilitate our memorable takeaways conversation, the group made mini zines (short for fanzine), an activity I saw on writer and artist Austin Kleon's blog: Austin Kleon - Zines.

Probably to no one's surprise, Dean Bukowski made a lovely zine! Here's a picture of its cover:

Here's a picture of her zine's centerfold:

You'll find an instructional video along with written folding instructions for creating your own zine here:
