The Green is committed to highlighting student voices as part of our Enlighten Me segment, and this week we head to Newark to put the spotlight on work from the University of Delaware.
In this edition of Enlighten Me, we have two additional stories by UD student journalists.
They were produced for a UD Communications class taught by Nancy Karibjanian, long-time First State journalist, Director of UD’s Center for Political Communication, and one of founders of Delaware Public Media.
We start with rising junior Michelle Lieberman, a University Studies major with a Journalism minor. She notes that ambulances are often seen racing through the streets of Newark, and while most might expect the EMTs that come to their assistance to be older in age, that’s not the case at the University of Delaware, where nearly 50 student volunteers make up the award winning EMS squad.
Next up, we hear from rising senior Christine Colalillo, a Political Science major minoring in Journalism. College students everywhere, including UD, need to find ways to juggle the demands of their major and everything else they do, but Christine tells us that music majors at UD face some unique challenges as they pursue their degrees.
Thanks to rising senior Christine Colalillo as well as rising junior Michelle Lieberman for enlightening us this week with their campus stories.
