She graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in neuroscience and communication arts, but she realized she wanted steer off her science path after she took a multimedia journalism class. McMekin stayed true to herself and became a freelance photojournalist.<\/p>\n<p>When she attended Allegheny, there weren\u2019t many photojournalists around, but the school offered numerous opportunities that helped propel her on her career. She was the photo editor for the school newspaper, The Campus. She was a member of the film union, and a video assistant. She participated in the Allegheny Regional Film Festival. And she attended a journalism conference and multimedia workshop created by journalism professor Cheryl Hatch, which had a tremendous impact on her, McMekin said.<\/p>\n<p>During her sophomore year, she had her first hands-on experience while shooting at a Mac Miller concert.

She has also covered protests at the University of Tennessee.<\/p>\n<p>One of her favorite parts of being a photojournalist is that she doesn\u2019t have to settle down yet. She\u2019s able to move around; she had no idea she would live in Tennessee for a year. Photojournalism is an engaging job and she doesn\u2019t have to sit at a desk all day which is a huge perk, McMekin said.<\/p>\n<p>Because of her career, she has the ability to talk to anybody she wants to. Her job gives her the means to talk to people and she has become a lot more observant and out-going.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m making my professors proud,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Being a freelance photographer has also challenged McMekin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople expect you to know what to do,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s been figuring everything out as she goes and doesn\u2019t hesitate to ask for help when she needs it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m always trying to make what I do better and I\u2019m never complacent,\u201d McMekin said. \u201cYou have the story in your hands and the power of how you\u2019re going to tell it and I want to tell it correctly.

He began writing for The Campus newspaper his freshmen year. Switzer said having access to the newsroom was easy, as it was located at the end of his hallway in Baldwin Hall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to write and help people, and journalism is kind of the thing that does that,\u201d Switzer said.<\/p>\n<p>At the college, Switzer worked his way through various positions on The Campus, including staff writer, sports editor and news editor. In his senior year, he filled the position of editor-in-chief.<\/p>\n<p>Switzer said he learned the most at Allegheny outside of the classroom, and that he enjoyed his time as a student.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI loved Allegheny. I had a great four years there. Met a lot of my friends there, met my wife there. It was a pretty transitional time there,\u201d Switzer said.<\/p>\n<p>Professor of Communication Arts and Theatre Michael Keeley remembers having Switzer as a student. He said Switzer worked as a teaching assistant in the production studio.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was a very nice student with a good sense of humor, and I really enjoyed working with him,\u201d Keeley said.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the fun Keeley remembers Switzer bringing to the classroom, Keeley said Switzer was studious and worked hard to enhance both his knowledge of production and his performance as a journalist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was very serious about his work,\u201d Keeley said. \u201cHe was really looking forward on how things were changing. I think that helped him with his first job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Switzer worked with the former Meadville Bureau of Erie Times-News as a freelance writer while in college. After he graduated, he said he stayed at Erie Times-News for another two years.<\/p>\n<p>During this time, Switzer said he covered one of his favorite stories.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I was in Erie, I had this five-part series. For five straight Saturdays I wrote this series on French Creek with Jack Hanrahan. We walked or drove or canoed all of French Creek,\u201d Switzer said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sitesmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/journalism\/files\/2016\/05\/Switzer.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sitesmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/journalism\/files\/2016\/05\/Switzer-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"Switzer\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-420\" \/><\/a>Switzer said this involved covering the industry and social issues around French Creek, and he liked the thoroughness of the story.<\/p>\n<p>Following this work, Switzer moved to the District of Columbia in the summer of 2009 with his then-fiancee, whom he later married.<\/p>\n<p>Switzer spent a little more than a year doing online communications for Goodwill Industries International, during which a friend of his started working for the Chronicle of Philanthropy. He moved to its web communications team when a spot opened up. At The Chronicle, he held the positions of assistant web editor, web editor and senior web editor before becoming the assistant managing editor and director of digital products. According to Switzer, there is no easy way to narrow down what his job entails.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve never had a job where I\u2019ve just done one thing. Even at the Times-News when I was reporting and interning, I was also working on the website and social media and video,\u201d Switzer said.<\/p>\n<p>Switzer said he enjoys having a job that can vary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m interested in doing a lot of different things all the time, so when there\u2019s something new, I\u2019m often the one to raise my hand and try it,\u201d Switzer said.<\/p>\n<p>Switzer\u2019s supervisor, Ken Sands, is the online general manager. His position covers The Chronicle of Higher Education and The Chronicle of Philanthropy. Sands also said that Switzer exhibits particular excitement for new projects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCody was probably one of the first people I met in 2013 when I came here. He\u2019s one of those bright enthusiastic people,\u201d Sands said. \u201cHe brings a lot of what I call digital IQ, which is really important for companies today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sands said that Switzer is not only enthusiastic about different areas of work, but he thrives in a number of them as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s very collaborative, which means he works well across departments in the company,\u201d Sands said. \u201cSo even though he came up as a journalist working in the newsroom, he is able to collaborate and work with people with marketing and\u2026development, and of course keeping the journalism ethics number one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Switzer attributed his enthusiasm for new projects in part to his time taking any number of different stories while working at the Erie Times-News, and his time as a liberal arts student at Allegheny.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe variety is one of the things I like best now,\u201d Switzer said. \u201cAny given day I might be working with reports, or working with people who are in our business department.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Switzer\u2019s favorite project while at The Chronicle of Philanthropy focused on people who make their money through the internet. He also compared how people now and in previous generations view their philanthropy.<\/p>\n<p>Switzer said that Allegheny helped to prepare him for his professional career because he got to try different types of media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAllegheny gave me the chance to try things outside of traditional journalism,\u201d Switzer said. \u201cOne of the things that [employers] really wanted was video experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Switzer said the college also helped to prepare him for all the writing and presenting he does, and his time on The Campus helped to prepare him for managing time and projects.<\/p>\n<p>Sands said that Switzer has given the college a positive reputation in his view.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a tremendous representative of all things good from [Allegheny],\u201d Sands said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cody Switzer, \u201907, always knew he wanted to work in the field of journalism.

I thought that it was pointless and it was hard so what is the point when I don\u2019t have any clue? My parents pushed me and just wanted me to get a degree in something,&#8221; Lorri said.<\/p>\n<p>After Gannon University, Lorri spent about 30 years working in the healthcare industry while also starting her family. In 2012, Lorri learned about the Nancy Sheridan Continuing Education Scholarship that the Allegheny College Association (ACA) has presented since 1973.<\/p>\n<p>The ACA and Allegheny College have collaborated to offer a limited number of scholarships to Crawford County women for part-time enrollment at the college for one year to help empower women and provide them an opportunity to broaden their educational experiences.<\/p>\n<p>After receiving the scholarship at Allegheny, she was excited because she knew how many women have applied for it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe opportunity is narrow each year,&#8221; Lorri said. &#8220;The scholarship allows women to take a maximum of 12 credits to get their foot back in the door if they have been out of school or have never had the chance to attend college.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During her first year at Allegheny, she took mostly English classes until she heard about the Journalism program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSomething popped up on Facebook about Cheryl Hatch and journalism being a minor and I thought, hey I want to try that. It really sparked my interest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She took a couple classes in the Journalism in the Public Interest program while writing articles for The Campus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI took the news writing and multimedia journalism classes and focused on writing a couple feature pieces,&#8221; Lorri said.<\/p>\n<p>After her first year at Allegheny, she earned the opportunity to come back for another two years through the scholarship program.<\/p>\n<p>During her third year, she earned an internship with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette where she covered mostly features stories.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI filled out an application not thinking I would get it, and I didn\u2019t really think I always wanted to be a journalist. My reading and writing skill led to my interest in journalism and it snowballed from there,&#8221; Lorri said.<\/p>\n<p>While at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, she learned about a grant program through Allegheny College and the Active Aging Inc. called the Lifelong Learning Institute.<\/p>\n<p>After her newspaper internship, she interned at the center in Meadville, where she promoted the program and ran free classes for senior citizens around the area.<\/p>\n<p>In March 2015, she started writing full-time at The Meadville Tribune where she is now one of three full-time reporters.<\/p>\n<p>She covers a beat that includes Vernon Township and PENNCREST and she also covers everything that\u2019s of interest to the people who read the paper.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love being a storyteller. I get to make a story out of everything I\u2019m covering,&#8221; Lorri said.<\/p>\n<p>She said if it weren\u2019t for Allegheny College, Cheryl Hatch and the Journalism in the Public Interest program that she wouldn\u2019t be where she is at today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything about Allegheny College changed my life. It helped me learn to take chances and realize my strengths that I didn\u2019t know I had and allowed me to change my career path to have a job I really enjoy and help me get better everyday,&#8221; Lorri said.<\/p>\n<p>She said that the journalism industry will always be an important field and there will always be spots for journalists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJournalism is an ever-changing field. Technology is moving in and I think it\u2019s really important to remember no matter how we receive our news, whether it\u2019s on a piece of paper or on a cell phone, it\u2019s important that it\u2019s accurate. There will always be a need for professional journalists and I think it will be an important field as long as it\u2019s around.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>Shea Beaumont &#8217;17<\/em><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lorri Drumm relied on her love for storytelling to get her where she is today.
