School of Education Alumna Named Kent County Teacher of the Year


BALTIMORE, Md. – When Cheryl Fracassi M’17 heard her name announced as Kent County Teacher of the Year, the moment felt almost unreal. 

“It was surreal,” she said. “I am very proud of the work I do, but it is for such a specific population of students that it often gets overlooked. To have that work recognized and awarded on a larger stage was very humbling.”

Join us for a gallery talk for Infinite Fire: The Power of Women's Expression, an exhibition of photographs by Maryland-based artist Anne Calamuci featuring works from her acclaimed series Hear Me Roar and Ageless Creativity.

Her practice blends careful planning with intuitive image-making, resulting in portraits that explore emotion, aging, memory, and beauty. Often guided by themes, her work allows space for viewers to bring their own experiences into the interpretation.
