Meet Will, a senior at UCCS getting ready to graduate with his Comprehensive Higher Education Certificate in Graphic Design! Will says he chose graphic design because he has been an avid drawer all his life; now, he can put that interest into "making photos, editing videos, doing photoshop, and Canva." In addition to teaching Will career skills, going to college changed his life, because he learned how to be more social. Throughout college, Will went from "the same me to the new me!" During his time at UCCS, he gained new interests such as "reading books, writing, making new friends, helping people out."

Will's Experience

• School: UCCS

• Favorite Part of College: My favorite parts were hanging out with friends and meeting new people. I also liked learning new stuff like doing more writing and reading.
• A Top Memory: I went to a friend's house for Halloween, dressed up. We took pictures, ate good food, listened to music. It was a good memory.
