MEDIA ARTS AND STUDIES

Alumni Spotlight Where can a CI degree take you? Anywhere you want to go! Our alumni are all around the state, all around the country and all around the world. They are behind-the-scenes, documenting the scenes and starring in the scenes. A CI degree can take you on a journey limited only by your imagination. Follow in these footsteps or blaze your own trail.

Earl “Marty” Martin, 1984 Communication President, Drake University My communication degree has taken me to law school; the U.S. Air Force JAG Corp (all over the U.S. and Europe); advanced degree at Yale; teaching at the University of Illinois and Texas Wesleyan University and into leadership roles at Gonzaga University and now Drake University. I learned how to be intentional about the way I communicate and to always keep yourself open to new opportunities and challenges.

Kevin Haney, 2016 Information Communication Technology IT Help Desk Technician, Tesla My CI degree has given me the skills needed to land my dream job right out of college. I think the most important part of the ICT program is the strong emphasis on communication. What you know is only as good as your ability to communicate. Working for a company like Tesla, it’s important to be able to communicate to a diverse group of users with varying technical knowledge.

Director of Communications/ Spokeswoman for Ky Governor Matt Bevin

My favorite thing about my job is that I get to tell stories. Can you imagine how amazing it is to be able to do that for a living?

Radio Broadcaster for the Lexington Legends, Minor League affiliate of the Kansas City Royals

I have done everything from event planning to developing comprehensive public relations and marketing campaigns, creating community outreach programs, holding press conferences and working with the media on behalf of the Governor. My job provides a way for me to give back to my community and a way to create positive change through communication.

Additionally, my journalism degree has taken me all over the country and all over the world to report on important stories, many of which probably would not have been told otherwise.

Most minor league broadcasters are a lot younger than I am, but none of them has enjoyed the experience any more than I have. It’s been just as much fun – maybe more – than I thought it would be. My education gave me a foundation to do a variety of work for different organizations, even though all the jobs were in the communications field. 17
