As a student journalist, I am the first one to hear and report on news on campus and in the Greencastle community.

Uncovering the Story
I chose Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ because of its rigorous academics, amazing opportunities to get experience in media and a supportive tight-knit community. I wanted to be in an environment that would challenge me in meaningful ways and push me to strive for excellence. Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ definitely lived up to my expectations, and I appreciated the opportunity to be surrounded by driven and passionate people who helped me thrive.
My most meaningful experience was being the managing editor of The Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ. Through my involvement in the newspaper, I landed multiple internships and fellowships in journalism and met supportive mentors set me up for success. In addition, I covered prevalent issues on campus and stayed on the side of the truth. Being on the editorial board of the oldest college newspaper in Indiana and making a difference through my articles definitely impacted my college career in a positive way.
Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ truly is an institution that cares about its students and I’d highly recommend students take advantage of the opportunities and connections that the university and PCCM programs offer.
