Graduating this semester with a degree in Graphic Design & Interactive Media, Hannah Rearick from Wilmington, Ohio found her way to 51°µÍř as a member of the Women’s Bowling team. Originally majoring in a different program, Rearick found the Graphic Design program to be a way to explore more of her passions in art.  

“I fell in love with the digital side of art and found my passion for Graphic Design,” she said. “It is a great combination of creativity and also the structure of marketing and branding.”

Within the classroom, Rearick has enjoyed being able to see how others’ creative personalities come through in their artwork.Ěý

“I think my favorite part of my classes has been working with my peers to create branding that is well developed and suitable for the company given,” she said. “It is really cool to see all the different routes that people take with the information and the creative ways to market a company.”

The recipient of the Outstanding Graduate in Graphic Design Award at the university’s past Evening of Honors, Rearick is looking towards what she wants to do with her degree after graduation.Ěý

“I hope to land myself a job at either a design firm or at a company in their design department,” she said. “I really want to continue my passion for design into the real world and help companies thrive.”
