Kate Bormann ’18
UC prepared me for my industry by making me a strong conceptual thinker. I learned that the strongest work involves intentional decision making. Being able to talk about your thought process, and eloquently express your timeline of ideas is a really valuable skillset to have!
I use my art degree every single day - and it helped me land my job in a competitive business in a competitive city. Throughout my studies as an art major, people often felt the need to criticize the applicability of my degree, saying I would not get a job, make money. etc. I am so glad I did not listen. My background in art made me unique in a large pool of applicants – I found a place that values and relies on my skills and artistic ability. So I like to remind students who are deciding their paths- follow your passions and just do what makes you happy. There are soooo many places for artists in this world!

Favorite Ursinus Memory
One of my favorite memories while at Ursinus was the senior art show that was held in our spring semester of our final year. It was so impressive to see everyone’s body of work in one space, and to witness it evolve over the course of 4 years. There was such a strong sense of pride and closeness we all felt that night, having worked so many hours in our studio spaces together.
