Program of Emphasis: Communication and Media Studies

Hometown: Johnstown, PA

High School: Conemaugh Township Area High S

Why I chose to attend Juniata: I chose Juniata for many reasons, the first being that I love the POE program. I also enjoy the small community atmosphere and all of the entertainment and organizations available on campus.

Clubs and Organizations: I am a member of Eagle Ambassadors and I'm a Co-Station Manager for WKVR. I'm also a member of the theater program, I'm currently an electrician for them.

Most Interesting Class: The most interesting class I'm taking this year has been Arts Production Lab. I'm learning so many new programs and how to do digital designs. The professor also makes us think outside the box and challenge ourselves daily.

Favorite Faculty Member: It's very difficult to pick one person who has affected me on this campus, my advisors are fantastic resources, all of my professors are kind and helpful with any problem I have, and I can't imagine going to another school because of these people.

Thank you!

I am more than grateful to have received this scholarship. Without it I wouldn't have been able to continue to attend Juniata. Juniata has been my dream school since I was a sophomore in high school and everyone told me that it was too expensive. Now I'm here receiving one of the best educations in the world because of the help that you've given me. Thank you so much.

Sincerely,
Dakota Bearden
