Students in the Spotlight

Dan Griffin

Graduating Year: 2012

Education: Major in Electronic Media & Broadcasting, Minor in Political Science

Extracurricular and Involvement at ��ǿ��

"I oftentimes look back at my time at ��ǿ�� and wished I'd been more involved. During my time at ��ǿ��, I took as many classes as I could while also holding down a part-time job as a bank teller, working about 25-35 hours a week depending on the week.

I know many students at ��ǿ�� find themselves trying to find that delicate balance and make some memories. I will say, when I had free time or an off day from all of the normal responsibilities I carried, I really enjoyed visiting the library and the Campus Recreation Center (before it was renovated) to keep my mind and my body on the up and up.

I also enjoyed watching a few ��ǿ�� basketball games when I could. I made some of the best friends of my life while I lived in Norse Hall. We all came from different parts of the region, but we shared a lot of love for one another and our dreams and goals."

Favorite ��ǿ�� Memory

"My favorite ��ǿ�� memory would likely be the opening of Griffin Hall. No, it's not named after me! Though, I wish I could take the credit for such a fantastic facility.

While I was studying Electronic Media and Broadcasting, I was spending the majority of my time in Landrum Hall. We were lucky to be able to shoot video and interviews on tape, ingest it (make it a file on the computer) and edit it once that was complete. When Griffin Hall opened, it presented a new world for those of us who dreamed of being in the television news business. I had never felt so proud or so empowered to chase my dream!"
