PGSF Poster Contest Winner Juliette Woodruff
Full-Time Student Winner, Juliette Woodruff 

Full-time student winner, Juliette Woodruff’s poster caught the attention of judge Bill Michael, Cisco.  “Several things stood out: the clever use of the CMYK color scheme across the graduation cap, the clean and legible font, the QR code, and the overall tie-in with the printing industry.” Woodruff, who majored in Communication with an emphasis in Strategic Communication and a minor in Graphic Design, shared “ I wanted to show how important scholarships can be to students. The mortarboard cap emphasizes how every little bit of financial assistance can help students achieve their goals of graduating and getting established in careers.”
