Ah graduation! It is such an exciting time in a college student's life. Another chapter closed and a new one will soon begin. In this installment of my Journalism 215 class my assignment was to write a narrative story featuring a person who is in the news or has some connection to the news at West Virginia University.
I decided to profile a graduating senior, Brittany Sullivan and see how she prepared for the "big day." I also spoke with the Director of University Events Stephanie A. Ballard-Conrad. Both gave me excellent incite on what it takes to graduate at West Virginia University.
Gathering information for my story was fairly easy. I did not have any trouble contacting my sources or meeting with them to ask questions.
Being a junior at West Virginia University, I will be in the same situation next year, so I thought it would be a useful story to cover. I learned some good information to prepare me for my graduation day.
My story would be useful for students in Morgantown, preparing for their graduation day.
