I recently graduated with a B.A. in Media & Culture and am looking to further hone my communication skills with this internship.  My past experience includes involvement with WCUR, the Off Campus and Commuter Association, and PRSSA (Public Relations Student Society of America). I want to be working in advertising in the future as a copywriter or account manager and am excited to be with NSP this summer!

"Hi! My name is Sam Yothers and I use she/her pronouns. I graduated from WCU in 2021 with a Health Science - Sports Medicine concentration degree, and I am currently in the Higher Education Policy and Student Affairs program here. As an undergraduate student I was the lead manager for the men's basketball team where I worked with a lot of parents/family, planned many game-day events, and worked long summers of camps so I am very ready and excited for orientation!"
