As we near the end of the year, the work doesn’t stop. In fact, for some, it’s the busiest time of their semester, and it’s easy to get burned out. Often times, support is one of the only things that can keep people motivated to stay working, and hard work going unnoticed is one of the worst feelings in the world. With that in mind, consider checking out some of the following upcoming events to support the students involved.

Carthage '19

Emily is a senior at Carthage College double majoring in English, with an emphasis in creative writing, and theatre, with an emphasis in costume design. She has also studied writing at Columbia University in the City of New York and The Second City - Chicago. Some of Emily's talents include eating large portions of pasta, quoting 80s romantic comedies, and unwanted Louis Armstrong impressions. These will all be very useful for her future career in television writing and producing.
Jane Eckles

Carthage '19

Jane graduated from Carthage College in May 2019 with a degree in English and Secondary Education. She is from Merced, California, which is close enough to San Fransisco for her to confirm that the City by the Bay is her absolute favorite. When she's not teaching or writing articles, she can be found collecting any book she can get her hands on, watching Netflix, staring mindlessly into the void, or napping.
