Jean Shin, adjunct professor – CCE of fine arts, was included in the “Dogue” issue of Vogue. Dogs are “a reminder of how we all as a species need fresh water or air or a break,” she told Vogue. “We, as artists, often think of just the work, and in the flow, hours pass and we realize we haven’t moved our bodies or taken a break. Seeing him take pleasure in watching birds or chasing things or smelling—to be aware of our surroundings, to play, those are all things we all need but sacrifice for our work.”
