The faculty in the Communicating Arts 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 Communications 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.
