Saturday night’s screening concluded my experience at this year’s Syracuse University Human Rights Film Festival. Although this was the last film I saw at the festival, there were two others, The Good Postman and Plastic China, that were screened earlier in the day while I continued checking assignments off my to-do list. It’s important to note …
If you’ve read my earlier post, or are happily reading this one, then you know I went to the Syracuse University Human Rights Film Festival. A perk of attending the Friday screening was the free film festival t-shirts (yes to free things!). Anyway, I’ll continue my experience and thoughts on the films I saw during the …
Newhouse is known for many things, including its top of the line facilities that surpass even industry standards, its prolific and involved faculty/alumni network, but especially the countless opportunities available to students during their time on and off campus.

A 6-week summer boot camp is something that is required of some of the majors at the Newhouse School at Syracuse University. When you think of boot camp, you might get a little terrified, because it’s boot camp. You think of an intense time with professors and professionals. Well, if that’s what you’re thinking, then …
I am used to small schools with tight-knit environments. I’m sure a few of my fellow Newhouse classmates can relate. I graduated high school with 42 classmates, all who I had spent most of my life with. Then I went to an undergraduate institution that hovered around 1,000 students total. As if that wasn’t a …
For me, book reviews typically tend to fall into three categories: loved it, hated it, heck if I know because I didn’t finish it. This book was different.
