Hands-on experiences with PRSSA

Public Relations (UG) - Rachel Looker '18 photo

At Marywood, I wrote articles for the paper. I was involved with the TV station, producing shows and working in the control room. I interned at E! News and The Rachel Maddow Show. After all these experiences, I just knew I wanted to work in broadcast journalism. Marywood encourages you to get involved in as many opportunities as possible. They want you to pursue your interests – to whatever level you want. At other schools, you might have to fight to get noticed and acquire those kinds of experiences.
