As a freshman, I was afforded the opportunity to work with the campus Media Production Center. The MPC was responsible for meeting the EKU's production needs whether it was filming football games, graduations, television programming, Chautauquas, or professor's talking heads for online courses. At the MPC, I was immersed in hands-on experience before taking the field related courses. I enjoyed the smaller class sizes at EKU because I was able to build relationships with her professors. My Senior Seminar professor even helped me obtain my first job as a college graduate at WTVQ in Lexington, Kentucky. I still maintain a positive relationship with her former professors and visits when I can. Show less
