Student Spotlight

Dominique Bernardino will be graduating in May with a BA in Film and Video Studies and Communication with a concentration in Public Relations.

Favorite course or professor and why: My favorite course is Children and The Media, COMM 367, because it was very interesting learning about the impact media has on children and the psychological effect behind it as well.

This week our Student Spotlight is Hannah Kanfer!

Chelsea and I worked together at Communication Center Coordinators and combined our experiences in the center with data Melissa provided to create the paper that was eventually molded into this publication.

White, a senior at George Mason University, had been struggling to decide what was in store for him after college. After bouncing back and forth between degree paths, he ultimately chose to major in communication with a dual concentration in media production and criticism and public relations, along with a minor in information technology. 

Mason COMM has become my home that I have flourished in. I was able to learn so much about myself, my future career and experience so much with this degree. From studying abroad and making memories that last a lifetime, to landing internships that provided necessary experience that lines with my future career goals, Mason COMM has helped me solidified my future path and career goals while refining myself and skills for the future, whatever it might hold.
