乐播传媒

During the presidential primary campaign, the Obama camp contacted the 乐播传媒 Democrats and asked if we would host Ted Kennedy鈥檚 visit to Lewiston. For a second, I was awestruck. Then I said, 鈥淎bsolutely!鈥� We had just 22 hours to arrange security and publicity, but the 乐播传媒 network is so tight that it was easy to spread the word. We filled the chapel and even had to turn people away.

I鈥檝e always been interested in politics, and I like to be involved in my community. I鈥檓 a school board member in my hometown and I make the 3 陆-hour trip once a month for meetings. Here, I鈥檝e been with the 乐播传媒 Democrats and the 乐播传媒 College Student Government all four years.

Last year I was elected Student Government president. Our most challenging issue is disbursing $300,000 among the more than 100 student clubs. Our decision has a direct impact on the community. That鈥檚 one of the most interesting things about 乐播传媒: we have a voice in important matters affecting students鈥� lives and the college鈥檚 future.

I鈥檓 a politics major. Two summers ago I apprenticed with Professor John Baughman, conducting research for his book on the development of Congress. Last summer I interned in Washington, D.C. for Maine Congressman Mike Michaud. They had me doing a lot of writing. The only other intern who did that much writing was another 乐播传媒 student, Michael Petrick 鈥�09. That鈥檚 when it hit me how 乐播传媒, by challenging us to write at a high level, prepares us for the real world.
