“One of the best decisions I have<br />
ever made”<br />

One of the best decisions I have ever<br />
made was to study Broadcast Journalism<br />
at <strong>Loyalist</strong> <strong>College</strong>. When I started <strong>College</strong><br />
at the age of seventeen, I was unsure if<br />
this was the right program for me. At first<br />
I thought I had made the wrong choice,<br />
but the program opened up so many<br />
doors for me. You don’t have to get a job<br />
in news after you graduate. There are a<br />
wide variety of opportunities available.<br />
The Broadcast Journalism staff are the<br />
greatest. They are very honest with you.<br />
The first day of school the teachers told us<br />
it would not be easy. They were absolutely<br />
right, but they were there for us anytime<br />
we needed them. I struggled through parts<br />
of the program but my teachers<br />
encouraged me to strive harder and I have<br />
them to thank for much of my success.<br />
My experiences at <strong>Loyalist</strong> were<br />
amazing. I met friends I will have for the<br />
rest of my life, and I learned that I CAN do<br />
whatever I put my mind to. This<br />
specifically shows in my work now. I’m a<br />
Summer Events Reporter at Variety 104.5<br />
and I love my job. Every day I learn<br />
something new, and meet someone new.<br />
It is the most challenging job I have ever<br />
had, but also the most rewarding. I grow<br />
more and more each day.<br />
Everywhere I go in the media industry I<br />
meet <strong>Loyalist</strong> grads. <strong>Loyalist</strong> is a top<br />
competitor in the media industry and they<br />
should be proud of that. I’m proud to put<br />
<strong>Loyalist</strong> on my resume because it has<br />
helped me shape what I am today. I<br />
would tell anyone who is considering the<br />
Broadcast Journalism program at <strong>Loyalist</strong><br />
to make sure they are ready to learn, to<br />
put in extra hours, and to work as hard as<br />
you possibly can. Your dream job awaits<br />
you at the end of it all.<br />
National Recognition for <strong>Loyalist</strong> Photojournalists<br />
<strong>Loyalist</strong> graduates and students crossed the stage 14 times to receive<br />
awards in 10 of the 12 categories at the News Photographers<br />
Association of Canada’s (NPAC) first Pictures of the Year Awards<br />
held in Vancouver.<br />
