Name<\/span><\/b>: Mary Monroe<\/span>
\n<\/span>Major<\/span><\/b>: News and Media Studies<\/span>
\n<\/span>Hometown<\/span><\/b>: Denton, Texas<\/span>
\n<\/span>Class<\/span><\/b>: Senior<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What drew you to Texas Christian University?<\/span><\/b>
\n<\/span>I grew up going to TCU football games but decided to attend the University of Oklahoma after high school. I was a cheerleader there for my first year and transferred to TCU for my sophomore year.\u00a0<\/span>I wanted to attend a school that was smaller in size yet still located in a large city. I absolutely love it here. It was the best choice I could\u2019ve made!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why did you choose to be a news and media major?<\/span><\/b>
\n<\/span>I changed my major four times before talking to a news and media studies major that I knew through cheerleading. I decided that it was something that interested me and something I wouldn\u2019t mind having a career in. Eventually, I would like to work with <\/span>a company focusing on their media promotion, specifically in the sports industry because I\u2019ve always had an interest in sports.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What has been your favorite news and media studies class?<\/span><\/b>
\n<\/span>My favorite class I\u2019ve taken within the major has definitely been Issues in Sports Media. I enjoyed it because it helped me learn about the various problems that may arise in the specific industry I would like to work in. I feel that it prepared me for an industry that I had no prior experience in.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Have you noticed any misconceptions about your major?<\/span><\/b>
\n<\/span>I have noticed that students of other majors do not fully understand that the news and media studies major is not broadcast and that I do not want to be a news reporter on television after I graduate.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you could choose a class to add to the TCU Core Curriculum, what would it be?<\/span><\/b>
\n<\/span>I would suggest adding a class about diversity because I feel like it is a relevant issue in today\u2019s society. It would also help to inform every TCU student on the subject and create a more inclusive environment on campus.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How do you spend your time outside of class?<\/span><\/b>
\n<\/span>I work at a cheer gym and am on a competitive cheer team, so I spend the majority of my time in the cheer gym. I coach a younger team and perform on an older team. Cheerleading has been a passion of mine since I was in middle school. It can sometimes be challenging to balance my assignments and my commitment to cheerleading, but I have become experienced at managing my time wisely.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
