I transferred to Longwood in the Fall of 2016 as an incoming junior without knowing a single person at the university. I decided to get involved in The Rotunda to develop my graphic design skills, strengthen my resume and meet new people. I wanted to dedicate my time to something in hopes of preparing for life after graduation, however, I was blessed with much more than that. I have met some of the best people to ever enter my life and I never would’ve expected that only being at Longwood for two short years. Being a part of the layout section of the magazine has helped me grow so much as a designer. I was able to help redesign the newspaper into a news-source magazine and that has been one of my most satisfying accomplishments design related. Being able to work on layout for the magazine each week has been something I have looked forward to on a regular basis. Layout design is what I love the most in graphic design, so being a part of the layout section has been a perfect fit for me. I am thankful I found The Rotunda when I transferred because without it my time at Longwood University would not have been the best it has turned out to be.
