Audio Project

I have just completed my very first audio editing project. The assignment was to record a minute of audio about the new Communication Arts Lab at Park University, and include a sound bite. I was nervous to complete this assignment but I think it turned out decently for my first time...

We were not only in charge of recording and obtaining the sound bite, but also responsible for editing and finding instrumental music to include. I'm pleased with my very first time, let me know what you think.

Will I Find Work?

As a student who has been in school since I was, roughly, five years old, I have been asked, "what do you want to be when you grow up” an unbelievable amount of times. I’m reaching the point in my life when I can answer with confidence. I want to be a journalist. But what does that mean?

Anytime I consider what I will do with my degree I am both excited with the endless possibilities, and nervous at the idea of not finding anything. I finally decided to sit down and see what the always looming “they” had to say about it.

This is the most satisfying information I found…

Welcome

This is officially my first post as a "Communications Blogger". As you may or may not have gathered, I am a student at Park University, studying to become a journalist. At the wonderful age of 22, I have changed my major 7 times, and I'm not exaggerating.  I have declared my major in communications, and this is where I will stay. I have fallen in love with the passion of my professors, the camaraderie among the students, and the abundant resources available to me in the classroom.

The lessons I’ve learned in the classroom, from lectures and textbooks, are nothing like the lessons I’m learning just by observing. Observing the twinkle in the eyes of my professors as they share personal experiences, observing the frustration of the students learn the all too familiar feeling of trying and sometimes failing, observing my own self-appreciation when I’m proud of something I have done.

It is through this blog that I hope we can share these observations, from one student to another; welcome.
