“My time at UM provided me with more opportunities than I could have ever dreamed. From being taught by professors who have already done exactly what I want to do and amazing guest speakers like Billy Corben, to getting involved with our beloved campus newspaper and the amazing friends whose names I know I’ll see on the big screen one day, I wouldn’t trade my time at the SoC for the world. It truly prepared me to break into the big leagues. Because of my experience with the SoC, I’m heading West to do digital communications for the state of Colorado. Love you, go canes 🧡💚”. - 2021 Graduate Jordan Lewis, BS in Journalism and minor in Women’s and Gender Studies
