Communication • 2020

B luefield College senior Faith Pike is taking her God-given gifts to help better those around her. Pike commutes to BC from Tazewell, Virginia, where she was born and raised. After complet- ing two years at Southwest Virginia Community College, she transferred to BC beginning her jour- ney here in the fall of 2018. Coming to BC was a “pretty easy decision” for Pike considering she was already familiar with the campus due to her sister being an alumna and her friends already attending. But she said the campus community and family atmosphere is what really drew her to Bluefield. Pike double-majors in graphic communication and art and design. She originally just started with art, but her passion for graphic design heightened after taking a few classes at the college. “My passion for art and design itself started at a super young age and kind of just grew from there,” said Pike. “Art was always my thing in school, and it was what I gravitated toward.” She mentioned how design is way more than just a hobby for her. She loves being able to help others find their vision and their brand identity, especially within their small business. “Being able to use my skills and talents to further other people is a really big ‘why’ for me,” she said.
