The student sessions will be held from 10:25-11:30 a.m. in room MMVA002 of the Modelle Metcalf Visual Arts Center June 19-20.
Varvel, who recently retired from the Star after 24 years at the paper, is now a contributor for the Indianapolis Business Journal.
During his career, Varvel has been the recipient of numerous awards, which included the National Headliners Award, Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award, National Cartoonists Society Reuben Award for Best Editorial Cartoonist, and the Grambs Aronson Award for Cartooning with a Conscience.
Varvel was also a 15-time winner of the Indiana Society of Professional Journalists’ Award for Best Editorial Cartoon and 13-time winner of the Best Editorial Cartoonist Award in the Hoosier State Press Association. In 2006, Varvel received the H.
