Student of the Month: Erica Deitz

Submitted by Ella DeHass, Higher Education
HOLLYWOOD -
Erica Deitz completed the Fall 2001 semester at ITT, majoring in Multi-media, with a 3.67 grade point average.

"For some reason, when I tried before, I just couldn't get into to it. But now, everything is in sync," said Deitz.

Erica is making her dream a reality. If you're just starting college or returning . . . never give up. There are other avenues out there, not just one way. So, never give up!

Erica's family, husband Bruce and son Wyatt, along with her position with the Language Department developing materials for the Language Instructors, keeps her busy.

Deitz is the daughter of Josephine and Robert North, who are both accomplished artists. She was born in Winnebago, NE and is a member of the Panther Clan.

Erica captures the passage of life as she reflects on her ancestors and the life of the Seminoles in the Everglades. She provides a look into the future and the past through her art introducing her viewers to the human side of her people, their personalities and their humor.

Some of Deitz's better-known works are the Clan Wheel, Princess Committee logo, and the Incentive Award Committee logo.

Higher Education looks forward to featuring YOU in the coming months as our featured "Student of the Month".
