Some of the nation's top prize-winning and widely recognized picture editors and skilled administrators make up the Kalish faculty. They volunteer their time and expertise and sometimes even use vacation days to participate because they are committed to great visual storytelling and sharing their knowledge to others working in the field. Their dedication and passion for the profession are key to the success of The Kalish.
