Name: Chris Dorr ’18

Hometown: St. Louis, Missouri

Major: Strategic Communication

Minor: Film, Television and Digital Media

How did you decide on your major?

I always knew I wanted to do something fun and creative for a living, so when my older sister told me about Strategic Communication and possibly doing advertising or running social media for companies, I was hooked right away! I also wanted to go into advertising because so many people love ads that are memorable, and I’ve always wanted to be someone who came up with the creative ideas behind a memorable ad.

What job do you hope to have after graduation?

I would like to get a job working for the St. Louis Cardinals, the St. Louis Blues or a microbrewery.

What College of Communication classes have best prepared you for your future job?

Advertising Principles, PR Principles, Design, and Creative Strategies have all helped me out the most because those classes teach the basics behind everything people in advertising need to know wherever they are working.
