?? Meet Hazel Homer-Wambeam, a proud 2024 UW graduate making her mark in the entertainment industry! Hazel recently joined the Stan Lee Universe as Junior Brand Manager, where she’ll manage social media for the legendary creator, collaborate with celebrities, and help shape the Stan Lee brand. Hazel’s journey started long before graduation. Her deep connection to the Stan Lee archives at the UW American Heritage Center began in 2015 when her documentary on Stan Lee earned second place at the National History Day program. Fast forward to her senior year, Hazel curated a stunning exhibit, “Stan Lee: Beyond the Book,” showcasing Stan Lee’s legacy. Hazel's advice? “Take advantage of every opportunity. While my in-class experience did teach me the necessary skills needed to succeed, it was my involvement outside my major that led me to this incredible opportunity.” Congratulations, Hazel, on this amazing new chapter! Your Cowboy family is cheering for you as you carry the Wyoming spirit into your exciting career. ????
