McCarthy is majoring in Liberal Studies, and was a student in a computer Digital Design class taught by Daniel Canter. Talking about the poster she created, McCarthy said, “I looked for a fact that was interesting and different from most facts. The main aspect behind my poster design is the fact that teenage girls of­ten become pregnant because of drinking too much. I im­mediately got an inspiration to make an alcohol bottle pregnant because I thought it would have a strong impact, not just make a statement.” Courtesy Photo (Left): Norfolk resident Devinne McCarthy, a stu­dent at Cazenovia College in Cazenovia, New York, was honored recently by the Col­lege’s Substance Abuse Task Force as the first place winner in its 2010 Alcohol Awareness Poster Contest.
