A roundup of ideas and projects from around the Institute

  • SCPS Lecturer Garrett Benisch was quoted throughout a recent Food & Wine article about compostable cups. “Everything that you do with your dollar and your time in 2025 is going to decide 2028 regulation,” Benisch added. “We need change to happen.”

  • Interim Vice President of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Jazmin A. Peralta has received the National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education (NADOHE) Individual Leadership Award for their “important work and exceptional contributions in advancing the understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusive excellence in higher education.” The awards were presented at the 2025 NADOHE Annual Conference in Chicago, held from March 5-8.

  • Emily Riding, BFA Fashion Design ’18, was profiled in StyleBlueprint in an article that focuses on her career in fashion. “While I was getting to the root of my process and my values at Pratt, I started paying closer attention to handmade crafts.”

  • Visiting Assistant Professor of Graduate Communications Design Kelly Grey opened a new lingerie design studio, Greymade, in Montclair, NJ, which was featured on Montclair Girl.

  • Annalisa Baron, MFA Fine Arts (Sculpture and Integrated Practices) ’17, demonstrates her process for making optical glass chandeliers in a short documentary as part of her residency with the Wendell Castle Workshop.

  • Visiting Associate Professor of Fine Art Shervone Neckles created an installation for the MTA. “The Land Between Open Water” is located at the Westchester Sq-East Tremont Av station. Composed of painted steel panels, the artwork “honors the indigenous Siwanoy population, a band of Munsee-speaking Lenape, who lived for centuries in the area now known as The Bronx.”
