2011-2012 JMC Ambassadors
Don James Bolerjack
I'm a senior, majoring in journalism and digital media with a minor in leadership. I hope to continue to work in the T.V. business as on air talent, my overall goal is to be an anchor/reporter for a high end television network. My favorite media sources are CNN, KUTV 2 news, Fox Sports and ESPN. So far my favorite internship was when I interned at KUTV 2 News in Utah, It was such an eye opening experience for me as well as a wake up call. I really saw and learned all the aspects of what it takes to run a news station. For the months that I was there I did everything from answering phone calls at the news desk to going out in the field with reporters and photographers and shooting my own stand-ups and writing my own scripts. I would have to say my favorite experience in JMC so far has been working with Wildcat Watch, which is a student run television station. I have had the opportunity to work in front of the camera and behind, because to really understand the business you need to know all jobs on and off the camera.
Chelsey Eimer, Lead Ambassador
I am a fifth year senior majoring in public relations with a dual major in theatre. Ideally, I would like to be a Production Manager for a Repertory Theatre. My favorite media source is the Huffington Post. My favorite internship would have to be my summer at the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center. The experience of the museum, the people and the amazing camps that they run – it’s obvious why it’s one of the “8 Wonders of Kansas.” The best JMC “hands on” experience I’ve had at K-State is working in the Theatre Department Marketing Office; it’s allowed me to apply my working PR knowledge to a field of my choice, as well as helping me build my portfolio while still in school.

I write press releases for the university, radio spots for K-State,website information, facebook updates, and everything in between! My favorite JMC experience was the first story I wrote for the Collegian. It was alot of fun to see my name in the paper and my story!
