What’s next for our fall semester graduates?
Students walk up and shake the hand of The Media School dean, James Shanahan.
Elisabeth Dunn, Bachelor of Arts in Media: Media Advertising
I’m going to grad school for human-computer interaction, hoping to use what I’ve learned here at The Media School to become user experience designer.
Samantha Cravens, Bachelor of Arts in Media: Cinema and Media Arts
I’m actually going abroad for a little bit. I’m half Filipino, so I’m going to the Philippines to see family and attend a wedding and just kind of hang out.
Austin Guan, Bachelor of Arts in Media: Cinema and Media Arts
My plan now is to go to graduate school for fall semester, and I will work for the, obviously, work for the Communication Team next semester.
Emily Abshire, Bachelor of Arts in Journalism: News Reporting and Editing
I am going to be an associate producer for NPR in Washington, D.C. I’m gonna be working on their app, NPR One. I’m also going to be thinking very deeply about the future of news and creating special projects for stories that don’t yet exist, so I’m really excited to use my Media School degree and my informatics minor to do both of those things.
