Meet Our New Intern!

FrostburgFirst seems like an amazing opportunity to learn more about public relations while also preparing me for the next steps of life outside of college. Like I have said before, I am not exactly sure what I want to pursue in life but I think FrostburgFirst will be an amazing guide. FrostburgFirst gets very involved with the Frostburg community and I look forward to becoming a part of that. Finding a community and maintaining a community is very difficult and I believe FrostburgFirst will show me how to be a part of a community first hand. After the pandemic I believe that communities all over the world died down or became nonexistent. In this world, I believe communities are essential. I look forward to learning how to build a community whether it be through social media, a job, town, or whatever it may be. FrostburgFirst also plans and coordinates many different events. I have never planned an event before so it will be interesting to  see how an event is planned through a business standpoint. There is just so much to learn from this internship and I look forward to every bit of it. 

I am a senior here at Frostburg but I do not know much about the town or university. Sad, I know. The most I know about is the coffee shops around Frostburg because as a college student, caffeine is a must. People always talk about how much history there is in the town and on campus but I have not had the chance to get fully informed about the history. With FrostburgFirst I am sure I will learn about a lot of the history there is here at Frostburg. Especially because the museum is right across from the office. As I start to learn more about the history of Frostburg, I can relay it back to my peers so they have a better understanding as well. It is hard to reach an audience such as my age group when it comes to history. That is why I am excited to learn about the history and inform my peers about it. There are plenty of events that the town of Frostburg holds but I hope I can be another powerful voice that advertises these events through campus. 

When it came down to choosing where I wanted to go to school, it came down to location, majors offered, and softball. There were many schools that I was looking into but Frostburg felt the most comfortable. I am from a small town in New Jersey where everyone knows each other. When it came to touring schools, I loved the small town feel. I looked at a few city schools but just did not feel safe. When I came for my tour, a girl said that “Frostburg is probably the safest school feel.” That of course made my parents and myself feel at ease. The scenic overlooks also were a huge plus. For my first two years of school, I was undecided on my major so it was also very important that Frostburg had many options to choose from. Frostburg just felt like home.
