THE REAL WORLD:Recent alumnae share stories of where they are and how they got thereWith nearly 160 years of educating womenfor careers and financial independence,Moore College of Art & Design is aneducational community dedicated to helpingalumnae make the transition from pupilto professional.To back this up, the College offersresources students can rely on as theyprepare to enter the “Real World.” Moorewas the first school in Philadelphia to offera co-op program so that students couldhave hands-on experience in the businessworld before graduation. As early as 1855,student designers received contracts frommanufacturers with ties to the school.Moore remains progressive in thisarea. By fall 2008, all majors will have theinternship requirement.Moore boasts faculty who are working visualarts professionals, always available to offerreal-world advice specific to their field. TheLocks Career Center for Women in the Artsprovides internship placement and careerplanningskills critical to helping graduateslaunch successful careers and access to anetwork of alumnae. Students can alwayslearn from the experiences of the young,successful grads who are already, creating,working and achieving. So what does it taketo make it? Just ask Moore alumnae: It takesresourcefulness, flexibility, persistence—and alot of networking.Going for the GoalResearch and preparation were key torecent fashion design alumna Sherita Jennings´07 landing her first job. Since August,Jennings has been working as a productionassistant with the couture company DouglasHannant in New York City. Hannant’scollection is available in high-end departmentstores such as Saks Fifth Avenue, NeimanMarcus and Bergdorf Goodman. “I soughtout a job working in production, because Iwant to have my own clothing line in aboutfive years,” says Jennings. “The opportunityto come right out of school and to work atthis level of high-end fashion really gives mea leg up.”Getting that leg up, took a lot of thoughtfulpreparation and hard work on Jennings’ part.Starting in her junior year, she began byresearching positions fashion design majorstypically get when they graduate. She alsocontacted alumnae and the people shealready knew in the industry to find outwhat a good starting salary might be. “Ibasically reached out to all the resourcesthat I had,” she says. Jennings also madenumerous visits to the Locks CareerCenter where she got help perfecting herresumé, cover letter and interview skills.Jennings strengthened her resumé furtherby incorporating as many internship, workand travel experiences as she could. Herpre-graduation accomplishments includeinterning with Philadelphia-area designerSarah Van Aken and a stint in the productiondepartment of New York-based designerCynthia Rowley. In 2006, when she wasawarded Moore’s Frieda FehrenbacherWomen’s Leadership Fellowship, Jenningsexpanded her experiences by traveling toGhana to study textiles.Jennings feels getting that first job dependson taking the internship experience seriously,good communication skills and dressingprofessionally. For graduates thinking aboutmoving to work in a market like New York,she stresses the importance of seeking aninternship in that area. “If you want to geta job in New York, it’s important to alreadyhave had some kind of experience here,” shesays. “It’s definitely worth the risk and takingout that loan to be in New York for thesummer.” She also suggests getting as wellconnected with as many people in your fieldas possible, adding, “Your contacts can giveyou tips and pass your resumé along.”When it ClicksPreparation, along with persistence, is also atthe core of ´05 alumna Maia Lee’s approachto building her career. Lee graduated witha BFA in studio arts with an art historyemphasis—what is now the art history major.She is currently the marketing coordinatorfor the Rosenbach Museum & Library inPhiladelphia. In January 2006, she started atthe Rosenbach as development coordinatorbefore being promoted to her current post.Lee and the folks at the Rosenbach clickedright away. While the position she firstinterviewed for was not a good fit, Leeremained on good terms with Rosenbachstaff. Soon after, the development postopened up and she was offered the spot.“Even though it was a part-time position, Iknew that this organization was a good fit forme,” says Lee. “I found a way to supplementthe parts of my income that I neededthrough another part-time job working atthe Philadelphia Zoo as a face painter.” Whenthe Rosenbach restructured her department,Lee made a pitch for her current full timeposition and got the promotion.Like Jennings, Lee had a clear idea of hergoals early on. While still in high school inLawrence, KS, Lee interned with a consultantspecializing in non-profit fundraising. Whileat Moore her experiences ranged fromadministrative work in the Locks CareerCenter to an internship with PhiladelphiabasedEsther M. Klein Gallery and theCenter for Emerging Visual Artists, whereshe worked on its Regional Community ArtsDevelopment Program.She credits her time at Moore with helpingher build her skills and valuable connections.“My fine arts teachers were alwaysencouraging us to go out and look at artthat’s out there and not shut ourselves in ourstudios,” she notes. “The more opportunitiesI saw there were for artists, the more I sawthat there were just as many opportunitiesfor supporting those artists.”Lee concurs that it’s essential for Moorestudents to do as many internships, with asmany institutions, as they can. “Networking isone of the best ways to find work,” she adds.“It’s important to stay open and stay flexibleand to look for a really good match. Findingan organization that treats you well is just asimportant as a job that pays you well.”Connections, ConnectionsTextile design alumna Tina Nguyen ´06agrees that networking is one of the bestways to create professional opportunities.Nguyen is the manager and curator atTopstitch Boutique, located at 3rd andMarket Streets in Old City, Philadelphia. “It’sa combination vintage, hand-made accessoriesfor women, baby, home and soon for men,”describes Nguyen. “We also have a smallgallery which I curate.”Nguyen and three other woman openedthe Topstitch boutique in August of last year.The knowledge she gained about the fashionindustry and running a business at her firstjob were skills she took to Topstitch. Besidescurating, she also exhibits her work atTopstitch exhibitions and creates jewelry andaccessories for the store.Winter 2008 9

THE REAL WORLD:10ForNguyen,Above left is a book cover designed byChristina Haberkern ´05 for the hit NBC TVshow “Heroes.” Above right is a still fromABC’s “Private Practice,” showcasing anotherbook jacket design by Haberkern.“Throughout my time at Moore, I wasworking at a nightclub—where I coatchecked, worked as a cocktail waitressand did some scheduling and managementwork—and all of the connections I madethere really helped me,” she describes.“You never know who you’re talking withor which acquaintance respects your workand will give you an opportunity later.”Unlike Jennings and Lee, Nguyen hasn’tfollowed a set career trajectory. A textiledesign major, Nguyen also minored in graphicdesign and sculpture. That versatility hasproven to be a strength. “I’m at the boutiquethree days a week, and for those other fourdays I’m freelancing and doing whatevercomes my way.” That can mean a photoshoot, designing a logo for a client orcreating her own artwork. “I’m neverbored, and I have all these avenues I canfall back on.”MOOREnewsFace TimeSeveral months after graduation, illustrationalumna, Christina Haberkern ´05, decidedto make the cross-country move toCalifornia where she knew few people.Having no luck applying for positions viaInternet job ads, she was advised that’s it’sall about who you know. So Haberkerndecided to introduce herself. She preppedher resumé and portfolio and started goingdoor-to-door to various prop houses inthe area.“I prepared myself to be laughed at, but Ifigured you can make a connection withsomeone if you can talk to them, get yourfoot in the door somehow,” she describes.“And the first place I went to visit isthe place I work at now.” Haberkernhas been a graphic designer andproduction artist for the IndependentStudio Services’ Studio Graphicsdivision in Sunland, CA for nearlya year now. Her division makescustom on-air graphics for TV, movies,commercials and music videos.“When I came out here looking fora job, I didn’t even know my job existed,because you don’t notice it. My job is tomake sure that viewers don’t notice they’relooking at a SendEx box instead of a FedExbox. It’s completely fun. I love it.”Haberkern’s handiwork can be seen onprimetime TV shows such as “CSI,” “Heroes,”Topstitch boutique, managed by TinaNguyen ´06, features vintage clothes,handmade accessories and jewelry, aswell as a small gallery.“Prison Break” and “Private Practice.” Herwork keeps her busy and challenged. “I canbe drawing comic book panels one dayand designing license plates the nextday,” she says.Haberkern got the job because she gotherself noticed. Initially she introducedherself to a human resources person,describing her qualifications as an illustratorand graphic designer and asked if therewere any openings. Then she contacted thepresident of the company and the presidentof the Studio Graphics division, sending thema portfolio, mentioning her recent visit andexpressing interest in their company. She gota call back the following week.Says Haberkern, “They hired me because Ihave an illustration background in additionto graphic design.” Her flexibility and tenacityalso impressed her new employers. Sheadvises other Illustration majors to keep theirportfolios current and to keep up with thelatest computer applications, such as AfterEffects, to stay marketable.Broad CastingA job search that casts a wide net also canbe effective. Art education grad AshleyCline ´07 is an art teacher at R. ElisabethMaclary Elementary School in Newark, DE.Cline sent out 70-some job applications inthe summer months following graduation.The search garnered numerous interviews,and job offers from every school where sheinterviewed. Cline had specific criteria inmind, and was looking for a full-time teachingpost that would also offer benefits and herown classroom. The position at Maclary fitthe bill, with Cline teaching art to grades1-5 four days a week in her own classroomand one day a week working with autisticstudents in other classrooms.She believes her internship and volunteerexperiences while at Moore were crucialin preparing her for the interview processand the workplace. “The teachers had us dodifferent exercises to prepare for interviews,so I knew what to expect,” notes Cline.Cline’s formal student teaching experiencetook her to First Philadelphia CharterSchool for Literacy and starting in herthird year at Moore, she volunteered withseveral organizations. She worked withthe Philadelphia Museum of Art in theirAccessible Department, catering to adultswith special needs. She also volunteeredat The Galleries at Moore as part of anoutreach program, as well as at a Sylvan

and you really don't begin to realize it untilyou're out there trying to make it.”Rohrer says, “Moore provided me withthe tools to learn; the sources to discover;professors to listen to; and classmates togrow with.” Now, as an interior designprofessional, she continues to use the lessonsand curiosity that she gained at Mooreto forge ahead in her career. And as youembark on your career path, Rohrer advises,“Consider yourself a ‘sponge’ … and don’tbe afraid to ask questions.” She says, “As longas you go into it confidently and continue towant to learn and want to know more, intime you will be as comfortable as you wereat Moore.”Kate Rohrer ´05 with one of her recent projects, the Ritz-Carlton Club in Aspen Highlands,CO, in the background.For each of these recent grads tenacity,inventiveness and preparation have been keyto professional success. They’ve also eachbenefited from the knowledge, support andthe network of faculty, alumnae and peersthat are the hallmark of Moore’s closeknitcommunity.Learning Center teaching math and readingto ages 5-18.Thus far, Cline is extremely happy with herprofessional experience. “I love my job,” shesays. “The kids are great. I can laugh. They’reso inspiring.” Her career tip for MooreKaren Daroff ´70, president and principal ofDaroff Design Inc. (left) with Kate Rohrer ´05at the firm’s offices in Philadelphia.students is to be open to opportunities.“Everything you get your hands on, give ita chance, apply to it,” she says. “The worstthing that can happen is that you learn a newinterview skill.”Designing SuccessNetworking and preparation are themesechoed in Interior Design major KateRohrer’s ability to reach her professionalgoals. Rohrer, who graduated in 2005, isproject designer with Daroff Design, anestablished local interior design firm headedby Moore alumna, Karen Daroff ´70. Thefirm specializes in hospitality, corporate/contract and residential projects.In two years Rohrer has worked her way upfrom an intern at the agency to a practicinginterior designer. Some of her larger projectsinclude the executive and amenity floors ofthe new Comcast Tower in Philadelphia andthe Ritz-Carlton Club in St. Thomas, VirginIslands and in Aspen Highlands, CO.“Although it wasn’t a deciding factor of megetting hired, I do believe that because Karenand I are both alumae of Moore, it provideda strong foundation for a professionalrelationship,” says Rohrer. “The practice ofwomen helping women in the workplacehas been very helpful thus far, and I realizeit more and more each day.

IN REPOSE featuresthirty works by eighteen women artistswhose work in photography, video, sculpture,performance, and sound boldly exploresfemininity, identity and sexuality. Theexhibition is curated Lorie Mertes, RochelleF.

Also included are a currentgeneration of artists gaining internationalrecognition who use traditional genres ofself-portraiture, portraiture, narrative andlandscape to probe definitions of beauty,celebrity and notions of identity and itsrelation to the uncertain territory betweenadolescence and adulthood.While few of the women portrayed in theworks on view are in a literal state of “inrepose” many are captured at a poignantmoment of transformation whether it bephysical and emotional transformation, theprocess of surrendering one identity anddefining oneself anew, or the moment ofrest between being and becoming.According to Mertes, “This exhibition isparticularly significant here at Moore. Here,many young women, like the subjects inthe works on view, make the transitionfrom adolescence to adulthood, find theirvoice as women and artists and create avision for their future. This is a tremendousopportunity to see powerful and provocativeworks that celebrate the feminine voiceand point of view.”Artists in the exhibition:JANINE ANTONITANYTH BERKELEYRINEKE DIJKSTRATRISHA DONNELLYNAOMI FISHERJENNY GAGEANNA GASKELLKIM GORDONKATY GRANNANMORIKO MORICATHERINE OPIEPIPILOTTI RISTMELANIE SCHIFFCAROLEE SCHNEEMANNCINDY SHERMANMEREDYTH SPARKSHELLEN VAN MEENEBETTINA VON ZWEHLWinter 200823

TEACHERS SUMMER INSTITUTE 2008ART IN THE SOCIAL SPHEREThe Transformative Power of ArtMartha Gelarden, Trade Off (Made in China, Why China?) 2007The College has announced the program for the Teachers SummerInstitute 2008. This year’s program features “Art in the SocialSphere: The Transformative Power of Art.” The five-day program,June 22 – June 26, 2008, will explore how art influences changewithin individuals and within groups.Covering a wide range of topics, “Art in the Social Sphere” willinclude how art contributes to empowerment, meaning-making andidentity information; how dramatic changes in the art world sincethe 1960’s have resulted in freer expression of conceptual content;and how obstacles continue to confront dissident artistic voices.The Teachers Summer Institute is for art teachers and for thosewho integrate art into other disciplines, with assignments designedfor beginner through advanced levels of experience.The program includes lectures, studio workshops, discussions andfield trips led by distinguished professionals who have first-handunderstanding of the social issues affecting and inspiring art today.Matthew Hart is lead presenter for Teachers Summer Institute2008. In 1995, Hart founded Spiral Q Puppet Theatre, a grassrootsorganization dedicated to mobilizing communities and empoweringpeople. He now serves as National Director of Public Engagementfor Solutions for Progress, a public policy consulting firmdedicated to finding progressive, sustainable economic solutionsto complex social and economic issues. Hart’s achievements alsoinclude membership on the director’s team for the OlympicGames Opening Ceremonies 2004 in Athens, Greece.Program workshops will be led by Martha Gelarden, assistantprofessor and visiting artist at Moore. Gelarden is involvedin sculptural practice-based research that is generated by askingquestions about current events, the human condition, culturalidentity, history and politics. Program Director Lynne JordanHoroschak believes “Art in the Social Sphere” is particularly timely,given the social and political challenges of today. She adds, “Ihope that educators will leave next summer’s program brimmingover with ideas they can take back to the classroom, so theirstudents will know that as artists they can have an impact ontheir world.”The program offers college credit and Act 48 credit.
