This semester will host new and returning faculty across programs. Our VCFA faculty are entrepreneurs, business owners, activists, Lambda Award winners, National Book Award nominees, Critics Choice Award nominees, working and touring artists, and more. The 2024 summer-fall faculty, except for residency-only faculty, will be paired with current students at the residency and mentor their advising cohort for the next six months.
