Carolina Week Testimonial: Carolina Week...where do I begin? Well, I started my involvement with CW during my sophomore and junior years when I shadowed a few reporters and contributed a few VO's to the show. But I really gave my life to CW during my senior, especially during my fall semester, as a reporter and crew member. During my time with CW, I learned exactly what it felt like to be a general assignment reporter because it felt like every week I was covering a different story with a different angle but it was fun. I got to meet some really cool people and I worked with a good group of fellow CWers who were a bunch of good reporters and good people too! And I'm grateful for the experience I had with Carolina Week but also at UNC, in general, because all of my journalism related activities from Black Ink to STV helped me become the journalist I am today!
