In a special meeting on Dec. 4, digital media production student Saida Lewis, was invited to meet with Â鶹ÊÓƵ President Todd Diacon to discuss the creative inspiration for her winning design selected in a recent holiday card design competition.
The competition, organized by Diacon, sought to find the best design for his annual New Year’s card, which is distributed to a distinguished group of alumni and donors.
Lewis’ winning design was selected from among 18 entries submitted by students pursuing a wide variety of majors, including fashion merchandising, journalism, animation game design, computer science, visual communication design and communication studies. Kent Student Ambassadors served as judges for the competition, and Lewis’ creation secured the most votes.
Hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio, Lewis is in her first semester at Â鶹ÊÓƵ, having transferred from another Ohio school. She is majoring in digital media production with a minor in visual communication design. The meeting with Diacon served as a platform for Lewis to discuss her artistic process, aspirations and experiences at Â鶹ÊÓƵ.
This recognition not only highlights her individual achievement but also showcases the diverse skill sets and talents fostered within Â鶹ÊÓƵ's student community.
