Communication Student Spotlights

Jordan Green, Blackwell, Oklahoma, Expected graduation 2023

"The Northwestern mass communication program has been the best journalistic training and proving grounds a college student could ask for. The professors here have helped me become a well-rounded journalist by improving my writing, editing, graphic design, videography, strategic communication and interpersonal communication skills. These are essential to everything I do on a daily basis. I’ve used all of these tools working for various newspapers, magazines and online news outlets."

"When I chose mass communication for my area of study, it felt like I had found my calling. I had always enjoyed writing, but I never realized I could truly make a career out of it. Through my classes, I have refined my strengths and developed a variety of new skills to utilize as a young communication professional. My involvement in student media has given me lifelong friends and added quality work to my portfolio. I’m so thankful for the opportunities I’ve been given at Northwestern and the support I’ve received from my department."
