Columbus College of Art & Design Link your passion to your future, here OLIVIA JAMES ’14 PHOTOGRAPHY MAJOR
Derick Whitson ’14 PHOTOGRAPHY / FINE ARTS MAJOR
Linking your passion to your future starts with knowing yourself. And that means knowing what makes you different. But let’s face it. For lots of us, it’s hard to know. And plenty of people will share their opinions along the way, which can just add to the confusion, even if it’s meant to be helpful. So we’ve put together a guide for you. We’re not going to talk about what you should do or who you should be. Instead, we’re inviting you to explore some profiles that might match who you already are. We’re here to help you find your own answers.
