Thanks to a generous donation from a faculty member and some ambitious students, a recently launched center at Fort Hays State University now has a visual symbol to call its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paige Simpson, a graphic design student\nfrom Salina, won the logo contest for the Center for Empowering Victims of\nGender-based Violence (CEVGV) \u2013 and the $300 first-place prize that went along\nwith it. This logo includes words that embody the\nvalues of the center, such as empower, love, grow, and transform. It will be\nused to represent the center in all official documents and communication tools.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CEVGV, a regional\nhub for collaborative research and service, was established in March\n2020 with support from the Departments of Criminal\nJustice, Communication Studies, Sociology, and Art and Design. It is\nhoused in the Department of Criminal Justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2018, Dr. Ziwei Qi,\nassistant professor of criminal justice, and Dr. Hsin-Yen Yang, associate\nprofessor of communication studies, were selected as entrepreneurship faculty\nfellows by the Robbins College of Business and Entrepreneurship and the Office\nof the Provost at FHSU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This fellowship supports\nDrs. Qi and Yang to pursue their innovative approaches to empowering survivors\nof gender-based violence from rural communities to gain economic independence\nand long-term security. Their initiative addressed the importance of social\nentrepreneurship, safe housing, employment, counseling, and healthcare for\nsurvivors\u2019 financial freedom and social justice. Dr. Tamara Lynn,\nchair of the Department of Criminal Justice, became the center\u2019s third co-founder along with Drs. Yang and Qi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Keith Campbell,\nprofessor of sociology, was interested in helping the center get off the ground\nand offered a $500 personal donation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I have been following the work of\nDrs. Ziwei and Hsin-Yen as they formulated their ideas on how to assist women\nin need,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cWhen they decided to start a center and had a formal\nstructure, I felt that this was my opportunity to assist financially. I am\npleased that I have been able to provide this assistance, and I encourage\nothers to consider donating to this important cause.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The co-founders believed that having\nstudents engaged in the logo design could help them better understand the\ncenter\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 11 entries were\nturned in to the logo contest and judged by the panel of four judges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simpson\u2019s first-place\nentry was followed by one designed by Crystal Rojas, a junior political science\nmajor, who won the second-place prize of $120. Maria Moore, a junior English\nmajor, was the winner of the $80 third-place prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The winning entry was one\nof several success stories for Simpson, who is now working as a freelance\ndesigner for Leo Burnett Worldwide out of Chicago, one of the most creative\ncommunications companies in the world. FHSU has had a relationship for more than 25 years with Leo\nBurnett, which conducts portfolio reviews of FHSU students each year. Simpson\nwon a scholarship for the top junior portfolio last year, then won the overall\nportfolio competition this year as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simpson came to Fort Hays\nState to study graphic design at the suggestion of Eric Montoy, an FHSU alum\nunder whom she worked an internship during the summers while she was attending\nOttawa University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEric taught me a lot, but\nhe told me if I really wanted to learn graphic design from the best, I should\ngo to Fort Hays State and learn from Karrie, Chaiwat, and Travis,\u201d she said in\nreference to faculty in the art and design department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Karrie Simpson Voth is a\nprofessor and department chair, Chaiwat Thumsujarit is a professor of graphic\ndesign, and Travis Schlitter is an assistant professor of motion design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have gained a lot of\nvaluable knowledge at Fort Hays State,\u201d Simpson said, \u201cand will continue my\njourney working with more talented people at Leo Burnett.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
