Shana Fillatrau: "To have the opportunity to attend the 2020 Pop Culture Association Conference in Philadelphia is one I never expected. I've never been out of the province, so I'm looking forward to this new experience, as well as presenting my ideas on mental health representation in Marvel comics. I'm thankful to my professor, Tess Pierce, for guiding me through the process."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Tiago James de Oliveira: "I'm excited for the Pop Culture Association conference in Philadelphia. It presents an opportunity to represent the school and showcase my work and passion to an assembly of professionals and scholars who've contributed influential material to my field. More than anything, it's an opportunity to rise to an occasion, and that's a wonderful feeling." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Aly Beach alybeach_pro: “I’m very happy and proud to be a part of this project. I’m so thankful for my wonderful professor Dr. Pierce for giving me this opportunity, given that prior to meeting her, I never thought I would be capable of achieving something like participating in an academic conference.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
