Aspiring Writers Club, Sophomore Leadership, and Band partnered together to take students to this year's Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo (C2E2) located at McCormick Place. Students were able to meet different artists, authors, and interact with famous voice actors. Some students learned that in the future, they too could open up a booth in the artist alley section of the convention. Other students got tips and ideas for upgrading their cosplay costumes and were eager to take pictures with other attendees who cosplayed. On the ride back from the convention, some students talked about their plans for next year's C2E2 and what they wanted to wear. #hillcresthawkpride
