What's your favorite class at St. Mike's?
This semester, it's Media Law and Ethics in the Digital Age. Professor Griffith has so much passion for law and no topic is off-limits in regards to our rights as journalists.
What is the one thing you wished you DIDN'T pack your first-year? Or, what is one thing you recommend that first-year students pack that they might not have thought of?
Don’t bring all of your winter clothes in September. Keep a winter jacket and a pair of Uggs or other winter shoes around in the event that we get early snow, but having all your gear will take up a lot of space.
What's a fun fact about St. Mike's that a first-year student should know?
Professor Mindich (MJD department) was once a DJ in London. Bottom line: our professors are really cool!
What’s your favorite spot on campus?
McCarthy Arts Center. I love going into the music rooms and playing the piano (or attempting to) and singing. It’s just a fun stress-reliever.
What is one thing you've learned at St. Mike's (in or out of the classroom) that surprised you?
I've learned that I have something special to offer. I know things that others don't (and vice versa) and my opinion matters. I change one person’s perspective or I can change the world. Saint Michael's has given me that strength.
