"The Virginia Commonwealth University Adcenter, one of the leading graduate advertising programs in the country, has been named one of the world's 60 best design schools by BusinessWeek magazine.

In addition to making the list for the first time, the VCU Adcenter was featured in an article in this week’s issue, “Advertising by Design,” which cites the program for its collaborative style. “This is a tremendous honor and one that we are most appreciative of,” said Rick Boyko, director of the VCU Adcenter. “While our history is short in comparison to other programs, we have been driven to adapt to our industry and challenge our students like no other graduate advertising program in the country. We're humbled that BusinessWeek has taken notice.”

In 2005, the VCU Adcenter was named the No. 1 graduate advertising program in the country by Creativity magazine. In January, the Adcenter will move into its new home — a Clive Wilkinson-designed building that will further fuel collaboration and creativity."

I wish that I could take a little pride in our 15 mins of fame...but truth be told I had nothing to do with this accolade. Just grateful for the opportunity to be apart of the movement. But, look out for the class of 2009 next year...we surly will be on track to shake things up again!!!
