“When I moved into Shepard Hall that freshman fall, it was the first time I had spent a night outside my native Kansas. Four years later, when I moved out of the Residential College of Cultural & Community Studies, Medill degree in hand, my horizons had broadened considerably. Over the years, I’ve interviewed nine presidents and reported from six continents—thanks to the skills and confidence and perspective I gained at Northwestern. My time at Northwestern made it possible for me to have the front-row seat to history that I have been privileged to have since then. Thanks, Medill.”
