I’m currently a freshman at American University beginning the process of transferring for the Fall of 2018. I am currently undeclared in the College of Arts and Sciences but I am interested in journalism/communications. I am open to either majoring in an area of interest that pertains to journalism (American Studies, anthropology etc) or in journalism or another communications-related major. Please let me know what you think!

Good ECs
