The faculty in the Communication, Media and Theatre Department has helped me get the most out of my educational experience. After I graduate, I intend to pursue a career in sports journalism. UW-Superior is giving me the skills I will need to achieve my future career goals.
When I was at a larger university it was hard to find help, but UWS does an amazing job of finding you. I’m thankful for all the different ways I was pushed to be a better version of myself and for all the opportunities I have been offered because of the Communication, Media and Theatre Department.
I didn’t have an interest in journalism until I started at UWS and saw how powerful it truly is. All of the professors, classes, students and the Promethean have shown me how to be the best journalist I can be. This might not have been my original path, but I am grateful to be involved in the Multimedia Journalism program.
The Communication, Media and Theatre Department has helped me realize my passion for journalism and giving the campus and community a voice. Through the department I’ve had opportunities presented to me that would never have happened without the help of the department and my advisors. The experience I’ve gained through the department truly created a future for myself.
