    Anthony Navante BA/COMM May 2019

    “I would say I find myself utilizing my Communication Degree daily in writing articles, presenting story ideas, and relaying information to my team to ensure we’re all up to date.”

    Web and Social Media Reporter at KAKE TV

    Madison McCollum BA/COMM May 2019

    “My Communication Degree helps me by giving me a great baseline to build off of (because your degree should give you a start, not all the answers!). A lot of my experience for my job actually came from extracurriculars in school, like The Vantage, but what’s amazing is that my degree has taught me how to navigate the relationships, interview processes, and day-to-day interactions (like feedback!) on a level most of my peers can’t. It’s pretty awesome.”
