Hey! My name is Ali Dade, I'm 21, and originally from Kansas City, KS. I am an English - Creative Writing major, with a Mass Media - Public Relations minor. My hope for the future is to become the Creative Director or run social media for a company and to be a published author. In my free time, I like watching Netflix (too much, some may say), YouTube, or reading one of the many books that I have accumulated in the corner of my bedroom. I'm also very passionate about activism, specifically within the LGBTQIA+ community, and mental health fields.

Hello, I'm Jessica and I'm from Topeka. I am 21 but rather new to college. I am a journalism major with emphasis in film. My ultimate goal is to become a film critic. I have always loved stories, and movies in particular because I believe that film is the most immersive art form. I hope to get more people to feel excited about film by becoming a critic and sharing what I find great about it. I'm also a huge geek who tends to get excited about comics, books, and fictional characters in general. I admit to being rather shy but always looking to make friends.

Hello Ladies & Gents, my name is Dwane Simmons and I'm from Kansas City Missouri. I actually went to high school in Lee's Summit, Missouri which is about 30 minutes away from downtown Kansas City. I currently play football for Washburn University; I am a junior in the class room but only a sophomore on the football field. I also love to stay at home every Saturday and watch college football all day. I just turned 21 this past November and I'm the oldest of six.  

Hey guys, my name is Drew Dickes and I am a mass media major at Washburn University. My emphasis as of right now is creative advertising and my minor is art. Some things that interest me are cars, travelling, languages, and anything photo/video related. I have always loved taking pictures and i have just recently started doing videos on youtube (that you may see some of on my blog!) One thing I hope to get out of this class is knowledge on how to better use social media to get my message out to larger numbers of people.

Hello, my name is Rosemary Huseth. I am currently a junior here at Washburn University. I am planning to go into occupational therapy and to minor in mass media. I am originally from Topeka and I was born in China. I look forward to meeting everybody in the class and to learn a lot about mass media. I love to meet new people. Some of my hobbies are bowling, swimming, listening to music and eating sushi. I hope everyone has a great semester this fall. 

My name is Aaron McKinney. I am a junior transfer from Northeastern Oklahoma A&M. I am from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I am also on the Washburn football team. I just recently transferred here in January and Washburn couldn't have been a better place to come. In my free time if I have any (football is life) I like to go bike riding, play video games and of course watch pretty much any sport that's on at the time.
