Recent graduate Charity Page feels her wide range of hands-on experiences at ý Western really prepared her for the future. “When I came to campus, I landed a job as Program Coordinator in the International Center, which gave me the leadership and organizational skills I needed to stand out,” says Charity. “My supervisors supported and encouraged me to excel, and my professors in the Art Department also helped me to grow as a graphic design professional.”

Charity is traveling to Japan to teach English as her first adventure after graduation and believes that her experiences at ý Western have enabled her to pursue her dreams.

“I believe pursuing an art degree at ý Western was a great choice. It’s affordable, the professors really care about and help you, and there are so many opportunities to get involved on campus. I would highly recommend any prospective art major to study here.”

After finishing her time in Japan, Charity plans to pursue a Master of Fine Arts in Graphic Design. “Whether that will be in the U.S. or in Japan is to be decided.”
