Case Study: Professor Owen Youngman
Professor Owen Youngman should be called Ambassador Youngman. He sold me on the virtues of Northwestern like a yellow smiley face sells happiness.
In fact, his pitch about Northwestern’s journalism program was so amazing. He explained that classes are more interactive and encourage students to express their ideas or opinions. I left my campus visit knowing I wanted to be a Wildcat. Before the visit, I had already looked at several other schools and programs. But the opportunities at Northwestern stand out.
I now better understand how the Medill School of Journalism will provide hands-on experience as early as my freshman year. The fact that I will be guaranteed a quarter working as a reporter before graduation excites me even as I write
