Each year, Graphic Design USA releases their "Students to Watch" list, a roundup of recent graduates and graduate students they identify as "top students ready to burst on the design scene."

This year, the industry magazine recognized two Full Sail University students: Morgan Baker (Media Design MFA) and Mac Jo Smith (Digital Arts & Design).
