This Friday kicks off formal recruitment (rush) for all of the sororities here at Syracuse. It's a pretty intense experience, but it's definitely also a lot of fun for everyone involved. There's so much positive energy and excitement; it's a refreshing break after a long week of classes.
Speaking of which, we're three weeks in, and classes are in full swing. The Writing class I mentioned in my previous post (WRT 426) is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. The topic we're analyzing is black underground music and technology, and although I have no real connection to the topic whatsoever, the teacher has so much enthusiasm that it's contagious. I honestly look forward to doing the readings and going to class each week!
In CommDesign, we're working on a project with JP Morgan Chase & Co., but I can't really say much more about it since everyone working on the project had to sign a confidentiality form. What I can say is that we're designing for a real-world situation, JPMC is covering our expenses, and you may see our design in some prominent places after the project is finished!
Keeping you posted,
Jess

Getting to know....me!
Hello, Hello
My name is Jess Gaito and I am a junior in the Communications Design program here at SU. I’m originally from Perkasie, Pennsylvania (about 45 minutes North of Philly), but when I'm at SU, I live off-campus with 5 other girls (all of us are in VPA) and my housemate’s black lab, Midnight.
This is my first year working in the VPA office, but I’ve been involved in a number of other clubs and activities on campus since my first year. I am a member of the Women’s club soccer team, a sister of the Pi Beta Phi sorority on campus, a peer advisor and tour guide for VPA students, and this year I was elected Co-President and Director of Communications for Syracuse’s AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Design) student group.
In addition to being in CommDesign, I am also (trying to be) a Writing minor. This semester I am taking WRT 426: Digital Writing, which I’m super excited about, and I am also a TA for the Foundation Course 2D.
I love talking about VPA and CommDesign in particular, so if you have any questions at all about what it’s like being a VPA student at SU, please feel free to leave a comment or send an e-mail!
