VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH UNIVERSITY (VCU)
Emily Duong is a junior majoring in Mass Communications with a concentration in Creative Advertising. Emily always liked creating things. After dipping her toes into engineering and business, she arrived at the unsurprising and important realization that she should stick to what she loved. Studying creative advertising has allowed her to make even more interesting things in the realm of branding and digital art. Currently, she is a graphic design intern for VCU Athletics, and she has also gained communications experience with two nonprofits: Keep Virginia Beautiful and Project Yellow Light. Outside of class, Emily enjoys reading, watching movies and tv, and going to the park.
