Dear Sir or Madam,

My name is Peter Mankin. I appreciate what you do with Marketing and Communication around Flagler. Currently, I am enrolled at Flagler College in the Graphic Design program with a 3.79 GPA. I have experience with typography, branding, UX design, advertising, and social media marketing. At Flagler College, my experience has provided me the opportunity to develop my interests and skills in these areas I have mentioned. However, advertising and web-design are two of my favorite areas of study. Both advertising and web-design are important to expanding a brand’s capability to reach audiences. Advertising, for example, can tell a story to appeal to a brand’s identity and appeal to broader audiences than the brand intends. Web-design can do the same thing, but is different since websites often provide navigation around a brand (can be informative, menu-based, etc.). Both websites and advertisements are fields of study that I have worked with. For example, I created a new brand with a Glioblastoma Awareness campaign honoring patients who had this cancer. A social-media and website campaign were developed to inform those close to Glioblastoma patients about the cancer’s impact. My advertising experience results from my student organization: SOCI-ABLES.

As the Founder and President of SOCI-ABLES, a student organization focused on disability education, inclusion, and access, I believe that it is important to fit the needs of the Flagler College community. I let others have a say in our activities and educational programs so that the needs of students are addressed. As a club President, I have developed many social media pages for the Human Library Project, Disability Awareness Week, Out of Sight Dinner, and Tabling Fair. It was very important, to me, that these social media pages be accessible, interesting, and inclusive of good graphic design principles.

All of this information is valuable to MarCom’s needs since leadership and education are important to the Flagler College community. Having a leader who is good at being serious, flexible, and enthusiastic is a valuable asset to have in an employee. Secondly, and most importantly, having a designer who can engage with students, prospective students, and the community through different design mediums is something that I could take on.

I am passionate about Flagler College and am a diligent, hard-working student and employee. I have a great passion for Graphic Design, which combines my artistic and academic interests. I am currently a member of the President’s Leadership Academy, too! I have won awards for my art such as a Gold and Silver Key winner in 2021 as well as Graphic Design scholarships including the William C. Friday scholarship. I believe that I would contribute greatly to the position of Graphic Designer with such an outstanding department, Flagler College Marketing and Communication. If you require any further information, please do not hesitate in contacting me. I look forward in working with you in your decision-making process for this position.

Sincerely,

Peter M. Mankin
