Student Achievements
Communication Studies major Micah Wagman interned at the Seacrest Studios at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia this past summer:
"When we go on air, we are streaming to the entire hospital for the children who may not be able to come to the studio. Lots of the children who do come into the studio are younger in age, so we make sure that they have fun."
Micah also received the Professional Experience Grant (PEG) for his internship. Talk to your advisor if you are interested in applying for this grant.
