The four designs were created by Event Management, Dining, and Hospitality (EMDH) graphic design interns, Natalie Garneau and Jenna Swingler. Garneau is a junior graphic design and painting double major. She participates in the yearly Student Annual show at University Galleries and currently works for a local company designing websites for businesses across central Illinois. She enjoys supporting the local community where she grew up and volunteers with the Tri-Valley cross-country team and other community events.

Swingler is a junior graphic design major with a minor in technology, focused in graphic communications technology. She enjoys staying active on campus as a member of the Honors Program and in her sorority, Alpha Gamma Delta, by leading various group volunteer events. Additionally, she is a student representative for the College Council in the Wonsook Kim School of Art. Both students will be returning as EMDH graphic design interns next fall.
