Grad Year: 1st
Grad Studies Focus: Mass communication (with other possibilities still existing)
Plans after graduation: I am just starting to consider exactly what I want to do with my degree. I will probably end up working for a media research firm or doing some non-tenure track teaching (or both!).
Dream job: I would like to work for the Chicago Cubs doing either public relations or any position in which I could travel with the team and work in Arizona for the spring training session.
Favorite Vacation: A small road trip I took with my best friend to Toronto when I was 19. It was great because it was the first time I remember feeling truly independent since we planned and paid for everything ourselves. It was the first time I ever gambled in a casino as well, which is probably why I enjoy going to the boats so much now!

Grad Year: 2nd
Grad Studies Focus: My main area of interest is in computer-mediated communication; specifically, I am interested in how and why individuals choose to interact in a mediated environment and the combined influence of technology and the individual on mediated communication.
Plans after graduation:
Dream vacation: Rent a small villa on the Amalfi coast in Italy for at least a month where I could be utterly alone in the Mediterranean sun. Sit in a café, drink wine, and watch the world go by. Make trips to the market for figs and seafood and olives. Walk everywhere. Sit on the veranda and read purely for pleasure. Have no intrusions from television or telephone. Be ignorant of time except for the rise and set of the sun.

Grad Year: 2nd
Grad Studies Focus: I came into the Master's program full time last Fall after working full time professionally since my graduation from Monmouth College in 1998. I really enjoy teaching COM 110 and taking classes. I hope to write a thesis merging political and media communication.
Plans after graduation: Continue for a PhD
Dream job: My dream job would be anything I truly enjoyed, probably involve a lot of reading, thought, and discussion on controversial issues and policy that could advance and improve our nation and world, and being a mom.

Grad Year: 1st
Grad Studies Focus: I am not focusing on any one area. I would much rather take a variety of classes that way I know a little about everything, and I can see what truly interests me.
Plans after graduation: Since I am only in my first semester of graduate school, I haven't thought too much about what I will do after graduation. I am definitely not going through any more school though!
Dream job: I would love to direct and produce music videos. I never will, but, hey, that's why its a dream job!

Grad Year: 2nd
Grad Studies Focus: I have not really focused on anything in particular. I am just doing a little of everything.
Plans after graduation: After graduate school - I plan to move somewhere warm and either try teaching community college or do something for a non-for-profit org.
Dream job: My dream job would be traveling with Bono helping families with HIV/AIDS to get the proper care and helping families in need - or just traveling everywhere helping people who are less fortunate. (I am not sure that I would get paid, so it may not be a job but, it is what I wish that I could do).
