Daphne Taranto has been awarded a Fulbright Open Study/Research Award to India in the Design category for 9 months, starting August 2019. She will be focusing on research related to art books (which includes design books, photo books, zines, etcetera). The official independent project title is "Creative Publishing as Cultural Outlet and Site of Exchange and Dialogue between US–India." She will be mostly based in Ahmedabad at the National Institute of Design (NID), with additional research partner-affiliations in Mumbai & New Delhi. The Fulbright U.S. Student Program is the largest U.S. exchange program, primarily funded by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
I learned to drop all previous assumptions I had about people because I had never met anyone like the other students at Oxbow. For the first time, my peers and their insightful thinking inspired me. For example, during the ‘Einstein’s Dreams’ presentations, I kept looking around the room thinking, I can’t believe all of these students are talking the way I think.

Oxbow School is one of the preeminent choices for creative high school students interested in the arts. Their project-based, integrated approach to learning mirrors the approach of many top art schools. At California College of the Arts, we are thrilled to see applicants who have attended Oxbow because we know they are well prepared for the rigors of college level work. I wish there had been an Oxbow School when I was a high school student!

Hey guys! OS33 alumni here! I received a full ride to California College of the Arts and just wanted to tell you guys that if it wasn't for the Oxbow experience and the great faculty who saw the potential in me I wouldn't have gotten as far as I did. I am still waiting for other colleges at the moment but I think this might be the school I will attend this fall!
