I am a super senior majoring in Communications with a concentration in Journalism (we can thank being a yearbook nerd in high school for this passion). Media has always intrigued me, and I have a passion for not only hearing the stories of others, but getting their stories heard. This is my first time taking an online course and I am grateful to have found such an interesting one that will be lenient with two jobs.

Hey everyone! My name is Rose, and I am a super senior getting two degrees in Media Communication and Economics, and a minor in Non-Profit Management...aka I'm not graduating any time soon. Currently I work as a preschool activities teacher, gymnastics coach, and elementary soccer coach. I also just got back from a 7 month study abroad in Europe, and was always getting asked about why I didn't look like Snooki, if I saw car chases a lot, and if I see Obama all the time. This is one of the reasons I am interested in media, because of how powerful it is in changing peoples perception of others and places.

Hello All, I’m Tanya!  I’m a Communication major with a concentration in Public Relations and am graduating this December.  I have a full-time career in higher education and also attend school full-time.  With that said, my nights and weekends are focused on school and I haven’t had any great adventures but hope to change that after this semester.  I’ve worked in higher education for almost 15 years and have a passion for helping people meet their educational goals.  I’ve lived in Northern Virginia for over twenty years, but plan to move to the west coast this winter to be closer to my family.  I wanted to take this course before I graduated and was very excited to find it being offered online since it is very hard to create a schedule that fits both what I need and want to take.  I look forward to working with and learning from you all!
