What is the coolest thing you have done in your studies as a CM major?
Working with the CM Department has given me a ton of amazing opportunities on campus—but my favorite experience so far actually happened in my hometown. After interviewing and explaining over and over what a “CM major” was, I landed an internship with CBS News in Washington, D.C. I got a chance to visit Capitol Hill, interview a Washington Redskins football player, and see firsthand how White House correspondents operate on a daily basis. My knowledge of research, data visualization, and media played a huge role in getting me the internship and definitely helped me on the job!
What are your professional goals?
I aspire to work in broadcasting, using my knowledge of computing and communication to improve information availability and efficiency for mass media.
In one sentence, explain why students should choose the CM major.
All the fun of liberal arts, all the benefits of computing, and only half the calories!
