It wasn't just great to see new faces and good friends, but to hear the buzz of exciting ideas. After getting caffeinated and hearing a brief presentation on the BIC launch, working groups got together in ten tables of six to explore the big challenges facing the communications industry today and what types of leaders will shape the future. Here are some photos from the BIC Curriculum Summit on January 23rd that demonstrate the power of deep thinking and good conversation.

THANKS, GEORGE LOIS, FOR THE WORDS OF CONFIDENCE IN BIC

"The best branding and communications program I've seen these days is BIC. Really impressive. I've had the privilege to speak to students at CCNY, and gave them 'damn good advice' (the name of a book I had just published). The knowledgeable and passionate teaching staff, and the excitement and receptiveness of their students was extraordinary, giving me hope for the future of creativity in mass communications in America." George Lois -- the only person in the world inducted into The Art Directors Hall of Fame, The One club Creative Hall of Fame, with a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Institute of Graphic Arts, and the Society of Publication Designers.

THANKS, HAYES ROTH, FOR THE ENCOURAGING ENDORSEMENT OF BIC
