Meet the freshmen: Eva Arriola

August 27, 2024 by Brylie Mahar

Originally drawn to ACU by the beauty of campus, kindness of the community and endless opportunities, Eva Arriola has discovered a pathway on campus that will lead to her dream coming true.

“I really like this college,” she said. “There are a lot of internships and pathways that I can use to get out there in the world.”

As a lover of movies, Arriola has an appreciation not only for what happens on the big screen but the magic that happens behind the scenes. 

“Most people just see the movie and they’re like, ‘Oh yeah, that was good,’”  But some don’t realize the amount of work and dedication that can go behind that.”

Camera work, editing and film are very interesting for her, and her ultimate dream is to be involved in film creation. To accomplish her dream, Arriola has decided to pursue a degree in multimedia. 

“I really enjoy movies and shows, and I appreciate the people that make them,” she said. “I want to be a part of the people who make stuff like that happen because movies and entertainment are pretty important if people don’t really realize it.”

Arriola is a multimedia major from Bulverde
