Shannen Gallagher
Shannen Gallagher from Gouverneur is using her time in the Graphic and Multimedia Design program to complete a comic she started in her youth.
“This is something I’ve wanted to do since middle school,” Shannen said. “It’s called ‘Killer,’ and it’s about a kid named Hugo and his toy Mousey. They face off against past demons.”
Shannen will be displaying her comic for the annual senior exhibition held around commencement.
She chose SUNY Canton because it was close to her family, and the college had a program she was interested in pursuing. “I transferred here from SUNY Polytechnic during COVID,” she said. “After taking a few courses, I found out I adored this major.”
Shannen particularly enjoys courses that include animation because she likes to see her drawings come to life. She also likes the 3D printing class with Professor Matthew J. Burnett.
