What happened
Continuation, with normal leadership turnover. The archived record lists Ronald Wyancko (1972-2000) as the metals faculty; he was a longtime predecessor who has since retired/departed. The program has continued uninterrupted and is currently led by Mark Rooker. The school rebranded from "School of Art and Art History" to "School of Art, Design and Art History" (SADAH), and the metals program now sits in the renovated/expanded Duke Hall (Duke Hall reopened after a major renovation completed in the mid-2010s). The metals/jewelry concentration remains an active, well-equipped part of the B.F.A.
