Distinguished Young Alumnus -- Alex Cornwell (BA '09)

Alex Cornwell

 



Alex distinguished himself as an ambitious and adventurous entrepreneur when he entered the University of Saint Francis in 2005 in pursuit of his Bachelor of Arts degree, concentrating in Communication Art and Graphic Design. His undergraduate involvement fostered valuable real-world experiences through his leadership with various clubs and student organizations. He also actively participated and served on the Brenda Hanchar Foundation Board of Directors and the Three Rivers “Arts in the Park” committee while pioneering a freelance graphics/web design agency that currently represents international clientele.

Post-graduation, Alex became the present co-owner and publisher of The Waynedale News. His dream to enhance the southern Fort Wayne community through this bi-weekly publication has been applauded by its 35,000 readers and
has produced recordbreaking sales for the 80-year-old company. Not losing sight of his core values, Alex makes sure that The Waynedale News is actively engaged in the community by creating and sponsoring various local events and providing
grants to nonprofit agencies in the area.

In an effort to grow in his professional career and make a positive impact on the world, Alex certainly has left his fingerprints on many projects for those who work, live, and visit the Waynedale community. He continues to generate noteworthy improvements and serves as a distinguished role model for future young University of Saint Francis alumni.
