Outstanding Senior(ita) by Design

Congratulations go out to our very own Mariana Sanchez, senior Graphic Design major, who has been chosen to be Outstanding Female Senior for 2010 at this year's Founder's Day Convocation.

Mariana is a busy student, active both in and out of the department. She plans to attend Western Illinois University for graduate studies in Graphic Design after graduation.

And the mystery of who was inside Big Red, our SMU mascot has finally been revealed!

Mariana's parents flew in from Mexico for the event to add to the festivities.

Best wishes to Mariana!

And the Winner Is...

...Elizabeth Daugherty's design - for the entrance to the Art and Design Department, was chosen from a wide array of entries submitted by all students in Brother Roderick's graphic design courses this spring. 

The actual sign will be manufactured and installed by Big Guy Design in Winona, owned by Rich Hultman, SMU art and design alum.

Elizabeth is on a roll of sorts, having her cover design chosen for the spring Typography class project.

Congratulations to Elizabeth, and thanks to all who entered!
