An award-winning dancer, choreographer and dance educator, Burchfield currently serves as dean of the American Dance Festival and was the longtime artistic director of the Hollins (Va.) University/ADF Master of Fine Arts in Dance program, and founder and chair of the school's Dance department. Glazer retired this month after 29 years of building the University of the Arts' undergraduate dance program from 53 students into the nation's largest.

 Jaime Salm '01 (Industrial Design), owner and creative director of Mio, a Philadelphia design firm specializing in sustainable furnishings, was featured recently in The New York Times in the article "Shopping With Jaime Salm: Hammocks and Hanging Chairs."

More recently, Salm included a hammock in a capsule collection he designed for Target. The story chronicles a trip to Manhattan to shop for hammocks and hanging chairs.
