Acadia Mezzofanti was elected a Professional Artist member of Copley Society of Art (Co|So) America's oldest non-profit art association. Copley Society of Art was founded in 1879 by the first graduating class of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. The Membership Committee (15 prominent artists as well as representatives from the Society's Board of Governors) completed a competitive two-round review of her work and of the 400 elected members she is the youngest.

At Oxbow, I got to try inquiry-based learning for the first time. This allowed me to control the amount of rigor and the depth of research in my topic, as well as picking a topic that I found most interesting. From going through this new process of learning, I feel excited to go back to the rigor of my sending school to apply the inquiry-based perspective to my classes.

I learned to drop all previous assumptions I had about people because I had never met anyone like the other students at Oxbow. For the first time, my peers and their insightful thinking inspired me. For example, during the ‘Einstein’s Dreams’ presentations, I kept looking around the room thinking, I can’t believe all of these students are talking the way I think.

Oxbow was, without a doubt, the best part of my high school experience. A year after leaving, and I still feel as though it were yesterday that I was sitting on the lawn, eating in the dining hall, and laughing with my friends in the studios.
