Not only did my first year at Syracuse provide so many opportunities to learn and develop my experience within my major, but it also allowed me to grow as a person. I made amazing connections with professors, faculty, and staff at Newhouse and fostered genuine and meaningful relationships between myself, and my peers who supported me all year.
