A Look at the Class of 2021

What began as a series of stewardship pieces culminated in this digital mini-magazine showcasing the stories of graduating seniors, and led to one of Saint Elizabeth University's largest gifts to date.

Stewardship Through Storytelling

Over the course of a year, working with advancement communications, I designed 2-page pieces profiling individual students. The project began as print pieces but then switched to digital at the request of the donor. These profiles told the story of Saint Elizabeth University through the stories of its students.

Building Up to Big Gifts

In the lead-up to commencement, we wanted to send a digital packet that showcased the graduating students and the barriers they overcame to attend university, as well as how SEU was able to support them during a global pandemic. Pull-quotes, stylized images and well-researched stories created a dynamic and meaningful piece that inspired the donor to make one of SEU's most generous gifts.
