Riegner, who is majoring in Journalism and Media Studies, is also playing on the Rutgers women’s lacrosse team and interning at NBC Sports where she is working with NBC Sports reporter and SC&I alumna Kathryn Tappen JMS’03. “The best and most unique part about my job is that it shows me firsthand what I hope to be doing moving forward, and it allows me to see the industry front and center. While I always thought this was what I wanted to do for my career, now I know for sure,” Riegner said.
Professor of Professional Practice Steven Miller speaks with SC&I about the critical role campus media plays by both disseminating information and training aspiring journalists and other professionals.
Bromberg discovered this internship through Rutgers Handshake. She said she was excited to apply after searching for an opportunity to contribute to the future of “meaningful” TV shows and movies for the next generation of young people.
Pazmino plans to leverage this opportunity to develop his writing and critical thinking skills.
“The comprehensive nature of my coursework [at SC&I] has not only expanded my interests but also enriched my skill set, positioning me as a strong candidate for a wide array of roles,” Serido said.
