Alum @WVLTBrittany (’09) recalls the impact professor @samswan's broadcast class had on her life. As our new assistant professor of practice, she hopes to pay forward the mentorship she received by teaching the same course once led by her mentor, and more. tiny.utk.edu/c5dfV

So the message? Never quit on your dreams. I’m doing something I never even imagined was possible back in the ‘80s!
To college kids and young journalists everywhere, I just found my last resume - from 1989! Sent this out to more than 75 outlets. Thank goodness @AP finally called me. I’m wrapping up my 34th year with this company in November - and still counting!
