Hello all. My name is Olivia Penn
and I am a senior transfer from the University of Kansas. This is my first
semester at Washburn and I am excited about familiarizing myself with the
university. I am double majoring in Spanish and Mass Media with an emphasis in
Advertising. Although KU does not have a Mass Media Department, its’ equivalent
is Journalism with a Strategic Communication emphasis. From what I can tell,
they seem to have the same focus and goals, which I am pleased about as I
thoroughly enjoyed my classes at KU.
I
am a born and raised Topekan, so regardless of its’ less-than-highly-acclaimed
reputation, it’s home and I love it. I appreciate Topeka’s culture and I have
loved watching it evolve, change, and improve. My favorite places in Topeka include
Topeka Civic Theater, Helen Hocker Theater, and various hole-in-the-wall
restaurants. I am a self-proclaimed theater nerd and have always enjoyed
singing and acting, as well as attending theatrical and musical productions. My
favorite musical is “Wicked” and I had the stupendous opportunity to see it on
Broadway. My other interests and hobbies include running, reading, and
relaxing. Oh! And school. Speaking of which…
I
chose this major because I have always been fascinated by the importance of
effective communication; something I believe to be an integral part of every
facet of Mass Media. I have enjoyed learning and understanding how to best
reach any specific (or broad) target audience most effectively. I am passionate
about what Mass Media is all about and look forward to furthering my learning
and understanding here at Washburn.
