Thanks to Denny Henry, CORC BFA ’07 and Jackie Henry, CORC BFA ’10, for sharing their story!
Where and how did you meet?
Denny says that we met at the registrar’s office. I say that we met by the “free bench,” a place where you could always find something you didn’t know you needed. I guess it’s still up for debate.
What were your first impressions of each other, and how did your relationship grow?
Jackie: I thought Denny was really handsome. He was a really talented photographer and he drove a sweet old Volvo. After three years at the Corcoran, multiple apartments, one rescue dog, and our first house, Denny proposed. We’ve been together for over a decade. I can’t imagine life without him.
Denny: I thought Jackie was a passionate and talented photographer who took pride in her work and cared about the people she met. I can’t add too much to what Jackie said, but we stayed in D.C. to be together after graduation, and it was the best decision.
Do you have an ‘only at The Corcoran’ moment that you shared as a couple?
For our second date, Denny scored tickets to the Annie Leibovitz opening reception. As we arrived and walked up the Corcoran’s famous staircase we turned around to see Annie leaving the show. It was such a memorable night. Denny joked that he wouldn’t ever be able to top that 
date.
Tell us about your last visit to campus, or how the school has remained important in your life.
The Corcoran is so special to us. We chose a small art gallery for our wedding ceremony in honor of the place that brought us together. We were so happy that so many of our Corcoran friends and several professors celebrated with us at our wedding.
Anything else you’d like to share?
We both transferred from other colleges. I transferred from a small college in Boston and Denny transferred from a college in sunny Florida. I still think about how lucky we are that our paths crossed.
