When exploring Judson, Hannah Cormier appreciated the programs and community that the campus offered. 鈥淭heir Art and Design program felt promising, and the campus environment and community felt very welcoming,鈥� she says.
Hannah鈥檚 hometown is Sugar Grove, Ill., which she describes as 鈥淸a] land of never-ending cornfields and the occasional bank.鈥�
Hannah is working towards a certificate in social media marketing, which combines the skillset of both her minors, photography and marketing. She chose to major in Graphic Design saying that she has “always wanted to be a graphic designer since middle school when I took my first digital tech class.鈥�
Hannah has gained valuable experience in two internships, one at in Geneva, and the other at , located in Chicago.
鈥淏oth [internships] have been great experiences and have helped me build collaborative skills,鈥� Hannah reflects. 鈥淥ne Design Company, in particular, has really helped me narrow down what field of graphic design and marketing I want to focus on when I graduate this spring: UX/UI design and social media marketing.鈥�
When she is not , Hannah is singing for the 好色先生TV Choir and the 好色先生TV Chamber Singers. 鈥淲orship and music [are ways] for me to step away from my busy day and de-stress,鈥� she explains. 鈥淭he University Choir tours have been especially influential because as I鈥檓 ministering to others, I鈥檓 being ministered to as well鈥攊t鈥檚 a very humbling and healing experience.鈥�
鈥淚鈥檓 surprised that I was able to make as many friends as I did here,鈥� she says, reflecting on her experience. 鈥淪ome of my friends have told me that I looked intimidating when they first met me and, on top of that, I鈥檓 pretty picky about who I hang out with. But I think I鈥檝e made friends with some of the best people and have the best roommates.鈥�
The Christian environment has had a positive impact on Hannah while at Judson. She says, 鈥淚鈥檝e never attended a Christian school before, so seeing how that was deeply woven into my educational experience has been a breath of fresh air.鈥�
