A dark blue illustrated flyer with glowing yellow stars and a magical wishing well. A yellow star rises from the well, symbolizing hope. The text reads: “Participants Wanted! A student storytelling project by Aaliyah Radebaugh, JustArts Fellow at UArizona. Share your story starting with ‘I wish…’. Your wish could become part of a short animated story on The Wishing Well, a digital space for student voices and campus change. Selected participants will be invited for a one-hour interview and receive $25 for sharing their story. Wishing for Change, Creating Tomorrow.” The bottom of the flyer includes a QR code with a note that all students can submit a wish using the form.
