ADA — A recent graduate of Ohio Northern University was honored for her work to highlight the importance of sustainability.
Rebecca Carman, of Bellefontaine, was recently awarded the inaugural Award for Student Excellence from the New American Colleges and Universities, which recognizes students for knowledge and experience in liberal arts, professional studies or experiential learning and civic engagement, according to a release from Ohio Northern.
A graphic design major, Carman’s “Design for Good” project encourages people to change old habits, foster nature preservation and sustainability and establish community relationships.
“My NAC&U submission consisted of various design projects that centered around the design for good movement,” Carman said in a press release. “Each design project worked to address a different societal challenge and consisted of street banners, posters, online campaigns, reusable bag designs and several other media outlets. Although different, each project in my NAC&U submission worked to communicate public good and social impact.”
