HC: What are your plans for the summer?

HC: You have been a great supporter of Relay for Life. What is something you would like people to realize about the importance of the organization?
Shira: Relay for Life is one of many great organizations that support research for cancer! Cancer has had an impact on my family, so I wanted to do something in honor of my family. Relay is a fun way to raise money. The event is fun because it is filled with activities so people want to go because it is fun and it raises money. We are raising money until April 3rd, and you can donate at this web address:

HC: What is your favorite thing to tell prospective students about SCAD during admissions tours?

HC: What is the most rewarding thing about attending SCAD? (other than knowing Lauren Cusker heehee)
Shira: I love all the people I have met through all my adventures at SCAD.
