Senior Spotlight!

Audrey Dainty
-
Audrey is graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Technology for Graphic Communications (graphic design emphasis) and a marketing minor. After graduation she plans to work as a Marketing Director at Bad Idea Supply, Co.
-
Outside of the Honors College, she was involved in Graphic Arts Club, Gamma Epsilon Tau (graphics honor society), University Student Ambassadors, Advancement Ambassadors, Crimson Club, and community activities through multiple positions at South Broadway Baptist Church.
-
Audrey has held three leadership positions in the Honors College: Freshman Class Representative, Vice President, and President currently.
-
Regarding her time in the Honors College, Audrey stated “I can't believe it's come to the point in time where I have to think about what I will miss most about the Honors College-- it makes me sad! I think what I'll miss most is the family that comes from being a member of the Honors College. It's not just an organization, but a tight-knit group of like-minded people that have become such a huge part of my college experience. From the members, supporters, and director, I have been impacted academically and socially through opportunities that would not have been found outside of the Honors College and through relationships that I could not be more blessed by that come only through the Honors College. Though I know I'll always be apart of this family as an alumni, there's nothing that quite compares to being a student of the Honors College on campus and the many day-to-day blessings that come from it. “

Best of luck to you Audrey, and we will miss you!
