Student Story

In the spring of 2022, CreativeConnect (a pathway that includes coursework in graphic design, audio/visual production, and technical theater) students from George Washington High School visited Gallun Snow Associates, an award-winning and nationally-recognized interior design firm that specializes in commercial projects such as healthcare facilities, recreation centers, and have recently completed projects at Denver International Airport. Students engaged with Gallun Snow staff to hear about their career paths and opportunities, learned about how the company uses technology applications to create designs for clients, and even created their own mock-ups for a proposed project using textiles and swatches.

[My favorite part was] trying to organize a project that was inevitably not going to work out.

This gave me an example of how complicated the real world can be.

Getting the chance to be able to go on this trip. The volunteers from the colleges were interesting, especially their stories and majors.

The VR part was fun to interact with, but I really enjoyed the ENERGY of the water treatment people since they were VERY FUN to interact with.

Learning more about being an entrepreneur.

Getting to interact with the company and what they do.

Seeing and touching human organs.

Getting to see the different kinds of surgery happening.
