Lauren Ruff and Hedwig at the College of Journalism and Communications' reception after graduation

What an appropriate mortar board topping for Lauren Ruff, advertising major and director of AdWorks, a creative group within the Ad Society.

She made Hedwig from directions she found on the Internet — printing the pattern on her printer and then putting Hedwig together complete with some individual paper feathers.

What made Hedwig even better for Harry Potter fan Lauren is that the directions were in the language she has studied at UF — Japanese.
