Emilee Forbush

Name: Emilee Forbush
Major: Pre-Computer Science: Animation and Games
Minor: Creative Writing
Graduation: December 2027

I am passionate about all thing's stories. I hope my major will teach me the skills required to develop video games, and my minor will aid me in my ambition to become an author. I hope to use this major and minor pair to build worlds that you can enjoy through the written word or explore yourself through an open-world experience.

What are people often surprised to learn about you?

I can make the sound a gopher or bird makes.

Knowing what you know now, what advice would you give your freshman self?

Homework before fun reading.

What sparked your interest in your major?

I like playing open world role playing games and I participated in a week-long game development class half a year ago that introduced that world to me.

Why did you decide to join the Honors Program?

At first, I just wanted to see if I could do it. The idea of being in the top 1% appealed to me. Now, in addition to that, I enjoy the interdisciplinary focus it brings to the table.

What has been your favorite Honors experience?

I love going to the thesis workshops when I can, even though I am a few years from getting started. It makes me excited and gives me a boost when my honors classes get to a tough spot.

What is your next step in Honors?

My next steps consist of completing two more honors classes and/or the great questions class as well as learning the skills required for and creating a network of people who can and/or will help me with my thesis and thesis project.
