For the use of students and individuals interested in growing in media careers
About Us
Jessica Ferrigno and Sedona Rose Saulnier are two graduating seniors of Barrett, The Honors College & The Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University.
​
They had vastly different college experiences and, as two young women about to graduate, began to reflect on how they had utilized career services. For their Barrett honors thesis, they decided to create a collection of resources for students & individuals interested in pursuing media careers.
​
Career services are routinely underutilized by undergraduates. Over 80% of undergraduate students enroll in college with the intention of getting a job. However, only 34% of undergraduates feel prepared or able to do so. In order to help undergraduates interested in media careers, this website collected resources beyond career services to prepare individuals.
