| I'm hoping to go into public relations. I would like to be the face of a company
and be in charge of speaking to the public and the media. I am also majoring
in Spanish, and so I would like to integrate my two studies
in my career.
How have communication classes helped you prepare for
your future?
Many classes have been worthwhile. For example, analytic
skills was very helpful because it teaches you how to analyze arguments
and present your arguments in a strong, valid, and ethical way. What activities are you involved in at Hope?
I participated in Nykerk as the orator which was a great opportunity
for me to test my speaking ability in front of hundreds of people.
Thanks to that opportunity combined with the Public Presentations class,
I really have become comfortable speaking in front of people. What is unique about Hope's communication professors?
The professors are all very approachable. They are willing
to talk about any academic issues as well as personal matters when
necessary. When I was preparing for Nykerk oration, I met with my public
presentations professor to brainstorm ideas on topics as well as discuss
the moral significance that my message would bring.
