I believe the journalism courses I took in particular have translated well to the work I do currently. I draft a variety of print and email communications to prospective students and their families, and journalistic writing is applicable to that work. I believe having to interview people for class projects has made me more comfortable communicating with campus partners and alumni. Pulling together a portfolio as part of my senior seminar class influenced what I put in the portfolio I submitted when applying for jobs.
