What do you love about being a Creative Media major?

I love that I don’t have to be stuck doing one thing. In Creative Media, you declare a primary specialization¡ªmine is Sonic Arts¡ªand two complementary specializations; mine are Creative Writing and Moving Image. I switched from the Broadcast Media Production major, so the Moving Image specialization let me keep those credDivision of Information Technology & Sciences, and I was already doing a lot of writing for fun, so I also chose Creative Writing. Ever since I declared my Sonic Arts specialization, I have been doing music production and voice-overs, and I’ve been on the radio, which is crazy to think about. There’s really an endless realm of possibilities to explore.

Can you tell us about switching majors?

I realized that working with the video camera wasn’t for me, but I still loved editing, and I loved working with audio. So I talked to my Broadcast Faculty Advisor and the Creative Media Faculty Advisor, and based on their guidance, I decided to try Creative Media. It ended up being a perfect fit.

How was your study abroad experience?

I studied abroad in Dublin, Ireland, and it was my best semester at Champlain. If you had asked me a year beforehand, I did not want to study abroad at all. I was petrified to leave Connecticut for college, so leaving the country was a huge jump for me. But my cousin convinced me, so I went. I did an internship with a podcast called The Igniter Series, where we talked to entrepreneurs about turning an idea into a business. I also learned a lot about Irish literature, Irish art, and Irish writing, which helped me get a global perspective I wouldn’t have gotten, if I’d let my fears keep me from going abroad.
