From the Nominator
"With this piece, we wanted to give alumni readers a real sense of how the pandemic impacted the student experience, using the work of a student who was also a gifted illustrator, Jo Tan. Originally conceived by Associate Editor Julia Hanna as a print piece, continued budget concerns pushed back a proposed return to print, and this piece had to be redesigned as an online-only experience.
The piece got a positive response both internally and externally. Also important, it helped our team continue to stretch in our multimedia efforts."
From the Judges
Very creative, original, and compelling way to tell a student's story during COVID, heightened by the emotion of Jo's voice. You definitely succeeded in your goal of stretching your multimedia efforts.
