I am currently majoring in mass communication and hope to receive a degree. I attended Olympus High School and played on the baseball team. I wasn’t very good but I loved every minute of it.

I’m not picky but would really only like to write for the Oakland Athletics.

ABOUT ME:

I am a 23-year-old undergraduate student in my final year at the University of Utah. I am completing a Bachelor of Science in Speech Communication with emphasis in Argumentation & Conflict. I am also completing minors in Business and Recreation with a focus on Sport Management. My goal is to take my education further so that I may one day practice law as an agent. I am in the process of applying to law schools for the upcoming Fall.

I am an avid sport fan and enthusiast that enjoys snowboarding and skiing and playing hockey and soccer. My home resort is Northstar-at-Tahoe, and I am a current season pass holder at Park City Mountain Resort. I learned to ski at the age of 4 and converted to snowboarding about 11 years ago and have done both ever since. I combined work with my passion for the snow in the past as an snowboard instructor for both Park City Mountain Resort and Canyons. As far as hockey goes, I grew up playing and am an avid San Jose Sharks fan. I often try to incorporate my love for the game with my academics and future career. I have dedicated much of my studies into learning, lecturing and writing about the business side to the game.

I enjoy writing and enrolled in the newswriting course as an elective. I hoped to further develop my overall writing ability and to advance my ability to write concisely. It has been a fun and entertaining learning experience.

ABOUT ME:

I am a fourth year student, and I’m still unsure of where I want to go.  When I first entered college studying communication was one of the last things I thought about doing.  I was sure that studying to become a physical therapist was my path; I was wrong.  After taking some of the prerequisites I realized that I didn’t have any passion for the track I was on.

Over the past three years there are only a few things that I am sure of:  I need money, my family and friends are always there for me and I love rugby.  I learned the value of hard work, camaraderie and the importance of being able to adjust to changes from rugby.

My dream job would be to have my own radio or television show where I could talk about sports.  Hopefully rugby will gain the notoriety that it deserves here in the U.S., because the idea of getting up and talking about rugby as a job drives me to make it my reality.

My path may have more twists and turns than I originally anticipated, but I’m excited in the direction I’m heading.

ABOUT ME:

I was born in Torrance, California on April 22, 1990 to Mike and Lisa Mills. Shortly after turning 2, my family moved out to Sandy, Utah and I’ve lived there ever since. I have three sisters between the ages of 19 – 14, one brother who just turned 5 and a Border collie mix named Annie. So needless to say, my house can get pretty crazy sometimes.

Attending the University of Utah was pretty much a given from the time I was born. My mom has always been a huge fan of Utah athletics, especially basketball, and she passed that down to me, although I prefer football and am a proud member of the MUSS.

I am currently on the path of majoring in Strategic Communication and hope to get a job working in Public Relations that somehow relates to college athletics after graduating.

ABOUT ME:

Growing up in Park City, Utah, could not have been a more ideal childhood. With the Wasatch mountain range acting as a big playground, I was able to seek any adventure. After years of various winter sports, I began freestyle mogul skiing, and that is where the real adventure began. By the time I was 15, I was traveling and competing throughout the United States and Canada on the North American Freestyle Tour. Training five days a week and traveling six weeks out of the year to compete became a conflict with school. However, with my long absences I was still able to balance my passion for skiing with school to maintain  a strong GPA. I credit my skiing career as the reason for diligence in my life. It allowed me to accomplish my goals and believe in myself in whatever it is I do.

I was raised with the principle that travel is the ultimate education, and because of this I have been able to travel the world and interact with different cultures, giving me an open attitude towards life. With these experiences I feel that I am able to communicate with all types of people and handle life’s unexpected hurdles with ease. I find that each time I travel I become increasingly aware of the most minute of things, almost seeking an ethnographic experience, whether this is picking up a few words in the language or blindly ordering off of the menu in hopes of trying something new. I am constantly trying to step past the stereotype of a white-sneakered, fanny-pack-wearing American who follows a guide and a precise itinerary, to instead find the heart of the city where the real culture lies.

ABOUT ME:

When I was growing up, I was desperate to know everything. Every time my mom or dad did something, I had to know why. Every secret that I learned someone was withholding from me gave me the greatest desire to get the true facts. I wanted knowledge and I wanted to learn about extraordinary people.

When I was in eighth grade, I decided to take a journalism course as one of my electives. I loved the teacher and she taught me that writing could actually be fun. I went on a field trip that year to tour a local news studio and watch a behind-the-scenes production of its morning broadcast television. I immediately fell in love with the idea of working in such an interesting environment that catered to my nosy personality.

After realizing I wanted to possibly create a career in journalism, I took classes in my high school’s television production department every year. It was always my favorite part of the day and I loved getting the inside scoops on all of the current news around the school. I loved learning how to edit packages and stories in broadcast television and working in a live studio with the pressure of a time crunch. When it came time to decide what my major would be in college, there was no question that I wanted to study journalism.

I am currently enrolled as a sophomore at the University of Utah. My desire to be a journalist has grown deeper every year as I continue to take classes for it, and I hope to further my experience in the field at every opportunity that may arise.

ABOUT ME:

A few things about me: I am a lurp, I am an avid Harry Potter fan, I grew up running rivers throughout Utah and Idaho, I have a third-grade sense of humor and I love to read and write.

I originally picked strategic communication as my major thinking I would go into event planning, but I have discovered in the past year just how much I love to write, edit and analyze other peoples’ writing.  This has resulted in my new-found interest in the public relations field.

I find myself practicing my writing and editing skills even in my free time, whether it’s proof-reading my husband’s papers, reading my favorite Steinbeck novel or writing something random on my blog.

Don’t worry, though, I’m not always so boring.  I can also often be found having Nerf gun or paintball wars with my family, hiking in my favorite spots of Utah, watching Criminal Mind marathons with my husband or napping.

ABOUT ME:

I am a 22-year-old senior at the University of Utah studying strategic communication in addition to studying for a business minor with plans to graduate in the Spring of 2012.

I grew up in Chicago, Illinois and lived there my entire life before I made my way to Utah in the Fall of 2007. I don’t eat Chicago style hot dogs, Lou Malnati’s really does make the best pizza in the entire world and I still support the Cubs regardless that they haven’t won a championship in 103 years and counting.

My professional experience includes working for Pierpont Entertainment District doing below-the-line advertising and promoting, interning as an account manager for Leo Burnett’s London office and being an active member of the university’s student run advertising agency, Absolute Communication.

I look forward to enjoying my last semester at Utah to the fullest and cherish all past, present, and future memories I have in my remaining days.

ABOUT ME:

I was born in Boston, Massachusetts and lived in the city for 14 years before moving to Park City, Utah during my freshman year of high school. I graduated from Park City High School in June of 2008 and went on to attend the University of Utah. I began my first year at the U without any idea of what I wanted to major in but throughout the last four years I have found that journalism is what I would like to do for the rest of my life.

I have always been interested in medical sciences and I hope to be able to apply that interest to my journalism career. I am currently working for the Clinical Neurosciences Center at the University of Utah Hospital where I have had the opportunity to work on multiple studies investigating neurological disorders and stroke. I would like to be able to use the knowledge I have gained from my time at the CNC to write informative journalistic articles in the medical field.

ABOUT ME:

My name is Stephanie Graves, I am 26 and a third year communication student at the University of Utah. I plan on graduating summer of 2012 and entering into the exciting world of public relations with an emphasis in the mass media and advertising.

This is my second and final year at the University of Utah.

ABOUT ME:

My name is Chris Springsteen. I grew up in Ocoee, Florida and moved to Salt Lake City for college. I’m a sophomore student at the University of Utah. I enjoy doing anything that relates to sports or the outdoors, and I especially like writing about those two things, more specifically football, skiing, baseball, golf, fishing and hunting. I try to be outdoors as much as possible, because there is so much to see and do.

My ultimate dream is to work in the marketing department for a sports team out west somewhere. ESPN is a backup plan for me if that falls through. I want to do some kind of internship with a Salt Lake sports radio company within the year or potentially for a pro sports team in the city.
