NC STATE Student Media

RICHARD CURTIS, USA Today, managing editor/design (retired) >

As a Design School student, learning how to juggle a strenuous and extremely demanding academic schedule with the responsibilities of working at the Technician (editor, 1971-1972) were lessons that stayed with me over the past 40 years. It was one of the grand experiences of my life.

MIKE ALSTON, Teach for America, educator > My peers and co-workers in

Student Media (WKNC general manager, 2009-2010) became family. We shared struggles and successes, good days and bad days. Most importantly, we shared and reached common goals and learned a hell of a lot in the process.

GREG MULHOLLAND, Citrine Informatics, founder and chief operating officer > Student Media

(photographer, 2004-2005) connected me with parts of N.C. State that I would never have seen otherwise. In my time there, I made friends University wide, and was able to understand points of view that I had never before considered.

BEN McNEELY, News 14 Carolina, Capital Tonight producer > Student

Media (Technician managing editor, 2004-2005) gave practical experience in journalism, but it also gave me more: A vocation, friendship and a chance to make a difference at N.C. State.

CARIE PAGE, Knowledge is Power Program Foundation, knowledge sharing manager > One of the magical

things about Technician (co-editor, 20042005) is that it’s yours. Each day, eight pages of text and copy come from your camera, your keyboard, your team. Knowing that the student body would be pulling open the paper each day instilled a great deal of responsibility. And, at the end of the day, an overwhelming sense of pride for your friends and fellow staff members.

REBECCA HESLIN, Gannett, manager of innovation > My time in Technician’s

(editor, 2005-2006) newsroom proved to be a one-stop shop for my journalism education. I entered the job market armed with skills not taught in any classroom — the most marketable being experience in every facet of the news publishing process, something no J-school can provide.

ROB BRADLEY, HGA Architects and Engineers, marketing coordinator >

Everyone who graduates from NCSU will have a degree, but how many will have a demonstrated ability to work well in teams.

Thanks to Student Media (photographer, 2002-2007), I did; and I have a career because of it.

RYLAND O. CLARK, ABB engineering, quality manager > My involvement in

student media (videographer, 2009-2010) allowed me to uncover my true potential.

I was surrounded by a great support team that helped turn my dream into a reality and make a difference at N.C. State.

CORDERA “C.J.” GUION, State Employees’ Credit Union, financial services officer > The thing that I loved

most about Student Media was the fact that almost every decision lies in the hands of the student. As Nubian Message editor (2011-2012), it almost seemed like I was running my very own business.

LUCY TATUM AUSTIN, North Carolina Court of Appeals, attorney and senior law clerk > As editor of the Agromeck

(2003-2004), I learned to persevere in doing careful, detail-oriented work, cultivating a diligence which is essential in my current practice as an attorney.

RYAN DANIELS, U.S. Department of Transportation, press secretary > At N.C. State I learned how to create an effective pitch, which is the ability to sell an idea or story to someone. Working at Student Media (business office sales, 2005-2007) allowed me to practice what I learned and perfect my ability to pitch by selling ad space for the newspaper, radio station, and yearbook. My experience has translated into valuable skills that I’ve been able to use in every job I’ve had since graduating.
