Working as a reporter for The Daily Universe helped me discover a passion for good journalism and greatly improved both my interpersonal relations and my ability to work on a deadline. I had 29 articles published during my time there (about two every week). I found my own story ideas, conducted at least three interviews per story, and earned a significant amount of front-page coverage. In fact, my editors were amazed by my ability to find such engaging stories in a beat (Fine Arts) that traditionally got very little readership. At the end of the semester, I was given the "Best Reporter on Campus" award.  See all 29 articles here.
