Caricature drawings were done at the West Allis campus in the cafeteria on March 22 from 11 a.m.-1 p.m.

The Student Life coordinator Patrice Jefferies put this event together for the students.  The event was to help brighten the day of all who participated on a first-come first-served basis.  The artist was Reynaldo Hernandez of Hernandez Designs, who stated that he has been drawing all of his life.

Hernandez said that he does courtroom sketches in Milwaukee, and he has done some murals.  He engaged his subjects on this day and he created wonderful pieces of art to take home.
