As graduation approaches, many seniors are looking for jobs and career opportunity as they take their last classes at Medaille. We wanted to spotlight some of our seniors in these last few weeks of school. For next few weeks we will profile a senior in the department.

Courtney Pellett

When it comes to being a hard working, one name comes to mind, Courtney Pellett. Whether it be with WMCB or The Perspective, Pellett has shown determination in anything she puts her mind to.

This year, her senior year, Pellett became Photo Editor of the newspaper. Last year she was Features Editor.

“I applied for Photo Editor on the advice of our advisor and some of the other editors from last year. I love taking pictures. It is one of my passions and other than Greg [Wlosinski], last years Photo Editor, I was the go to person to edit,” Pellett said.

The good that Pellett can bring to the table is the fact that she has the ability to work in more than just one medium.

“My career goals are so mixed up because I want to do everything, however I know that someday I would really like to own my own event planning company because it is the perfect thing for my creative side and I love planning a good party,” Pellett said. “I like print better. I’m a big talker, but in all honesty nobody cares what I talk about unless they are involved and I talk super fast so nobody can understand me. With print I feel like you get a chance to be more creative. For the newspaper I’m in charge of the photospreads and it really lets me be creative and have some fun.”

With April ending and May quickly approaching, there isn’t much time left before the senior class graduates and is done with their undergraduate work at Medaille.

“I’m scared and excited about graduating, it just depends on which day or hour you ask me. I’ve been in school since I was five, it’s about time that I’m done with it, at least for now; someday I plan on going back and actually I really want to get my doctrine in the future. I’m scared because I still don’t have a job or a clue what I want to do. Sometimes I envy my education friends because they know what they want to do without question. Communications is so general that you can really do anything.”

The Communications department and its professors are a huge part of each class that comes and goes at Medaille. Every senior has something or someone that they will miss and truly appreciated as their four years came an went.

“The best part of the communications department has to be Lisa and Lou. I’ve never met two teachers or professors who care so deeply about their students. They take the time to get involved in our lives and they trust us to share in theirs. They want everything to do their best and become shining stars. I couldn’t of asked for better professors and I count myself lucky to know them.”
