Points of Pride

I am unbelievably thankful to have been accepted to American University. The school is located at the heart of America's political playing field and is home to some of the most educated and influential faculty members of our time.

Here are a few reasons that make me proud to called American University my new home:

1.) "The 2008 Princeton Review named SOC one of the 25 best places in the country to study journalism."

3.) "Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Jan Schaffer leads J-Lab: The Institute for Interactive Journalism, which helps journalists and citizens use digital media to find new ways of participating in public life."

3.) "The Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) selected SOC as the site for its regional conference for four consecutive years."

4.) "Artist-in-residence and backpack journalist Bill Gentile took a Sony high-definition camera to Afghanistan, where he shot—solo—an Emmy-nominated documentary for NOW on PBS. He is also the director of the Backpack Journalism Project."

5.) "We’ve been teaching interactive media for a decade—long before most schools integrated it into their curricula."
