Sydney Cook

My name is Sydney, and I am a senior majoring in fine arts with a concentration in graphic design and a certificate in entrepreneurship. Since my freshman year, I have served on the Honors College Student Council in various roles, and I am the current vice president. In fall 2022, I was able to study abroad in Bulgaria where I was able to travel across Europe and visit countries in Asia and Africa. I received scholarships specifically for Honors College students on top of the yearly scholarship to supplement the cost of studying abroad. Throughout the past 3 years, I have been involved in two club sports, and I am currently on the ultimate frisbee team Black Pearl. Through the mentorship and encouragement of older Honors College students and faculty, I have received several grants for my research, and completed summer and semester-paid internships and fellowships including RISE29 and SECU Public Fellows Intern Program. In my free time, you can find me on the mall throwing the frisbee or hammocking, at the Rec center working out, or at ECU athletic events, especially football and baseball!
