(For me) it’s been a giant step forward in a direction that has until recently, been a dream.” Instructor Collier said, “These students worked tremendously together, with each other’s ideas giving balance to the composition. Although I prep my students well for the reality of critique in the real world, it was a true test as to how they would handle last minute changes. Ultimately, I was proud as they welcomed and accepted all the technical challenges thrown at them.” Code Name: ORION’S EYE is an historical novel based on the true story of an American troop ship, S.S.
