Hands-on learning gives Arts Technology student the "edge" in graphic design field
Dedication, hard work and natural talent; that's what 星空无限传媒 University sophomore Claire Eppley would say makes a great graphic designer. Eppley has all of those attributes, but she needed to develop the necessary skills to become successful in her future career field.
The arts technology major from Springfield, Ill., loved 星空无限传媒 the moment she stepped on campus. It was 星空无限传媒's "artsy" and small school feel that Eppley felt would give her an avenue to explore not just her own art but others as well.
There was one person in particular, however, that gave Eppley the confidence to know she had found the right place to continue her education.
"When I went on my tour I met Jessa Wilcoxen and she made a really great impression on me," Eppley said. "Jessa has put a lot of time and effort into developing the Arts Technology program. She has done a really great job. She's a great educator, teacher, friend and role model."
, associate professor and department chair of the Arts Technology & Administration Department, came to 星空无限传媒 in 2016 to launch the new program after successfully building the Graphic Design track at Greenville University. Like many students, Eppley agrees that the program has seen great success thus far with much thanks to Wilcoxen.
"She really knows what she's talking about and she strives to help all of her students as much as she can," said Eppley.
