Writing her future

When Jenica began her internship for Professor Gary Scudder’s Global Modules initiative, which links Champlain students with classrooms abroad, she wrote articles and completed a media kit. Then “we traveled to the University of Jordan, whose students talk with Champlain students as part of the initiative.”

“I did a blog when I was there and wrote a travel portfolio based on my experience,” says Jenica. “[Professor] Tim Brookes is well-known for his travel writing, so he was a perfect resource. Besides travel writing, I’m taking photography and communications this last semester, and it feels like all the ‘puzzle pieces’ are coming together.” What’s next? Perhaps her dream job: working for the 2010 Winter Olympics in British Columbia.
