What a night celebrating Branches on the Caldwell Campus!

Thank you to everyone who joined us in the Recital Hall to celebrate! The art was beautiful, our published authors gave amazing readings, and we loved cheering on this year’s poetry, prose and artwork award winners. 🏆✨

Volume 29 has 26 written pieces and 40 works of art from CCC&TI students, alumni and our community. They were chosen from more than 200 entries, so congrats to every writer and artist who shared their work. 🎉
