"Studying theatre at FHSU was an ideal situation for
me. The department was large enough to provide the competition
that makes one strive to be better, and small enough that
all of us did some of everything as we worked on productions.
By the time I completed my bachelor's and master's degrees,
I had acted and directed, stage managed plays, operas
and musicals, designed sound and costumes, built sets
and props, hung and focused lights, and studied makeup,
hair, and wigs. I left Fort Hays as a theatre generalist,
which has stood me in good stead in the jobs I've held
(one year as Designer/TD at Fort Hays, and then as Director
of Theartre at both Colby Community College and Johnson
County Community College)." |

"After graduation I interned with the NBC-TV affiliate
in Topeka and I immediately saw the relative value of
my education from the FHSU Communication Department. I
felt better prepared for the workforce than graduates
I observed from other institutions. Thanks to FHSU, my
efforts were rewarded with my first employment opportunity.
The faculty was phenomenal when I was a student. David
Lefurgey was the best instructor I ever had at any level
of education. Jack Heather and Chuck Wilhelm also played
an integral role in helping me prepare for my career." |

After doing several internships with Goldman
Sachs & Co. in New York, NY, I realized that Public
Relations was the field that would complement my strengths
and talents. The education that I gained from the FHSU Communication
Department is of the highest quality. Professors and students
work together almost as a team when it comes to learning.
The faculty in the Communication Department have a strong
dedication to their students; when you walk into their offices,
they drop what they are doing, and they are all yours! The
faculty is a very strong point for the department because
they truly care about the future of their students; they
are always willing to listen, share experiences and give
trusted advice. I believe that the knowledge that I gained
from this department helped me to be recruited for a position
at my current place of employment long before my graduation
date. |
