Sessions Students Featured in 2025 GDUSA Students to Watch

At Sessions College, we get to work with talented students from around the world who continually inspire us to enhance our programs and our teaching.

And so we are delighted to announce that two top Sessions College students—Stefanos Dardanos and Kelly Serio—have been featured in the 2025 GDUSA Magazine Students to Watch list.

Stefanos and Kelly were nominated for this honor because they have excelled in both the creative and academic aspects of their studies at Sessions College.

Stefanos is in his final year in the BFA in Graphic Design program. An international student studying in Greece, Stefanos is an experienced designer who has worked for a wide range of international advertising firms as a studio manager. He enrolled in our BFA program to earn a coveted credential, honor his talents, and update his skills.

Kelly Serio is a second-year BFA in Illustration student who has featured in our honor’s list for three semesters in a row. Becoming a parent inspired her to explore writing and illustration, with the ultimate goal of publishing children’s books.

To be featured by GDUSA in print and online issues is a tribute to the abilities of both students. We can’t wait to see what they do next as creative professionals.

The goal of the GDUSA special edition is to “identify top students ready to burst on the design scene.” The GDUSA Students To Watch feature is a tradition that resonates and renews: the students get recognized and the professional creative community is refreshed. Our warmest congratulations to Stefanos and Kelly for this deserved honor.
