I'll leave with the necessary writing, photography, video, social media and design skills I'll need to succeed." Rachel Scott "Learning the fundamentals in class and then experiencing those things at internships will give me the upper-hand during my job search after graduation." Kathleen Judson "I'll have a career portfolio bursting at the seams as evidence I'm ready for the real world." Chelsea Nivens
