Sports Writer
Hays Daily News

My experience at The University Leader was instrumental to my development as a reporter. It taught me how to write on deadline and sharpened my writing skills. If it weren't for The Leader, I am absolutely positive that I would not have been offered a job immediately out of college. The Hays Daily News saw my work in The Leader when I was a freshman and hired me as a stringer, which is a part-time sports writer (I mostly covered high school athletics on weekends as well as some Fort Hays events), during my sophomore year. I worked as a stringer until I graduated. Through my work at The Leader and my work as a stringer, The Hays Daily News actually called me and offered me a full-time job without me even applying.

Lindsey Mong (2012)
Administrative Assistant
Hays, KS
|
As an administrative assistant at a local general dentistry office I am responsible for daily patient relations including face to face interactions, phone communications, scheduling, and insurance efforts. I work to make the administrative side of a dental visit as smooth and easy as possible for patients while managing a busy schedule and workload for multiple dentists, dental assistants and hygienists.
FHSU's course load and knowledgeable faculty afforded me the valuable education and experiences I needed to thrive in a fast-paced work environment. I was able to develop my skills in multiple communication areas including: public relations, marketing, communication software and journalism. Meanwhile, my elective courses established a well-rounded general education and fulfilled my personal interests.
