A few words from the students

How are you coping?

Although I am bummed to be spending my senior year of college through a computer screen, I’ve learned to appreciate those who have made my college experience worth it.—Danielle Juliano

I don’t see this change as being good or bad. It’s just vastly different and I’ve learned to roll with the punches. —Simone Battaglia

Virtual Learning

Remote learning has had its ups and downs, but I’ve learned to stay optimistic during times like these.—Bryce Rimland

Going virtual has been hard, but these last few semesters have taught me that I am stronger than I realize, as well as the value of holding myself to realistic standards —Rebecca White

The only impossible journey is the one you never begin. Remote learning was definitely a challenge but it taught all of us how much we can truly handle and overcome! —Daniela Valdes

What have you learned?

I learned to appreciate the world as it was. Especially college, even though I don’t miss having to try to find a parking spot. —Jack Robinson

Senior Project has given me the opportunity to work on all aspects of the design process, from logo design to app development. Working on one single idea and developing it into a finished product has has allowed me to explore new ideas and techniques and has pushed me to create things I didn't think I could.—Kaitlyn Hough

I have learned a lot about myself these past 4 years and have been very fortunate to make many friends along the way.—Richard Friedel

Advice for future classes 

Senior project can be difficult at first, but once you have a concept everything starts to slowly but surely fall in place.—Ryan Tuszynski

I've learned that distractions are evil and to get everything done as soon as possible, so things don't pile up.—Citlali DelValle

My advice for the next classes to come through the doors of Hale Hall is to always have determination and passion, especially in our field of graphic design. When you’re determined, nothing can stop you, and when you’re passionate about it, nothing can discourage you. —Jefry Castro

What are you looking forward to?

I’m excited to start my career and finally work in a field I love! Senior project has helped me take a really small peak at what it’s like to work on campaigns and projects in the real world with working on ads, apps, and different media to bring together a massive project. It helps to give you a jumpstart, and that’s enough to get you excited! —Jefry Castro

Finally

I want to emphasize the design process behind the creation of my senior project. From ideation, to execution it was a valuable learning journey, one that showed me a new perspective- where introspection and passion fueled curiosity meet.—Ivy Greco

I feel very fortunate to have made great friends that struggled with me during my college experience. —Christina Thomas
