Emily Yen: Student Organizations Provide Graphic Design Experience

“My time at Marist has been great, and I value the relationships I’ve formed with other students and my professors. I’m an editor for the student newspaper The Circle, where I serve as a Chief of Graphic Design. I also attend the Red Ink art club, where we get together to do crafts, socialize, and de-stress. I also just really enjoy the time I spend just working alone in the studio, but at the same time I appreciate the thoughtful critiques and suggestions I receive when my work is viewed by others.”
