Friday, October 21st, three former Ole Miss Journalism graduates spoke at the Overby Center. They each discussed their time at Ole Miss and how it shaped their career path they are in today. They also described their current job situation and what they went through to achieve it.
John Peters, a paralegal at Crowell and Moring, in Washington D.C., graduated from Ole Miss with a degree in journalism and a minor in political science. His business now is an international law firm in which he wanted to take his journalism degree in a different angle.
Marquita Brown, a K-12 education reporter in Jackson, graduated from Ole Miss with her bachelor's in journalism and political science. Her current position as a K-12 education reporter for The Clarion- Ledger is one she enjoys, as she writing on her "favorite" beat.
Oscar Pope, the regional director of sales for Professional Sports Publications, graduated from Ole Miss his bachelor's in broadcast journalism and graphic design. The business he is associated with PSP in Atlanta, allows many advertising opportunities for all major sports, thus allowing for a wide range of media features for clients to get their messages across.
Each of the three took their journalism degrees and used them to their advantages in achieving the position they are at today. As Pope closed off the assembly with the value of your degree as a whole is important not specifically what it is. "It's all about finding something you're good at at," said Pope.
