At Sessions College, we are fortunate to work with outstanding students who inspire us. And so it’s exciting to announce that two top Sessions College students—Margaret Beaver and Maggie Brownstone—have been featured in the 2026 GDUSA Magazine Students to Watch article.

Margaret and Maggie were nominated for this honor because excelled in the creative and academic aspects of their studies at Sessions College.

Margaret is a second year student in the BFA in Graphic Design program. When she joined the program, Margaret was already a published novelist and poet, with works including inkwells., Flowers for Papa, and Season’s: August’s Collection (all from Vanguard Press/Pegasus Publishers). At Sessions College, she has a distinguished record of multiple student gallery nominations and is a regular on our academic honor roll.

Maggie is a senior in the BFA in Illustration program. Often featured in the Sessions College student gallery, Maggie has always impressed our faculty with her creativity. Recently she was one of several BFA students to develop outstanding collaborations with professional clients in our Internship and Entreneurship class.

To be featured by GDUSA in print and online issues is a testament to what each student has achieved. Our staff at Sessions College can’t wait to see what they do next as creative professionals.

The goal of the GDUSA special edition is to “identify top students ready to burst on the design scene.” The GDUSA Students To Watch feature is a tradition that resonates and renews: the students get recognized and the professional creative community is refreshed. Our warmest congratulations to Margaret and Maggie for this well-deserved honor.
