Learn by doing through academics. Develop a PR or advertising campaign for a client. Help publicize an event on campus. Get feedback on your media plan from industry professionals. Shoot, edit and air your multimedia package. Document your travels on Instagram. Write a feature story for a publication (like this one). Greenlee skills-based courses and high-impact learning opportunities challenge you to actively apply your skills in a real-world setting— and enhance your portfolio.
After a semester spent creating a campaign to encourage millennials to buy microwave popcorn for a national brand, five Iowa State advertising students hoped to take home some hardware from the American Advertising Awards in Des Moines. By evening’s end, the crew could boast “Best of Show” honors in the student division for their web banners, along with additional awards for a social campaign and

to find out the background,” says the course’s instructor, Michael Wigton. “We talk to students, and then they come up with the campaigns and they actually produce these ideas. They have to show us what the Snapchat filter is going to look like, what the pre-roll video on YouTube is going to look like and they do videos, print ads, radio, TV—whatever it is, they have to actually produce it. It gives them great content for their portfolios.” The students benefit from Wigton’s own expertise, culled over 20 years in such agencies as Arnold Worldwide in Washington, D.C., Carmichael Lynch in Minneapolis and VML in Kansas City.
“I can give feedback and that’s great and I have agency experience, but it’s also great to hear it from the actual client we are working with,” Wigton says. “Giving that professional feedback is really helpful for students and part of the learning process, also.” Students can submit their campaigns for programs like the American Advertising Awards. “Every agency knows about these awards; it’s a national competition and it’s the biggest one in the country. If a student wins at this and has it on his resume, it can really set him apart,” Wigton says. Like Wigton’s students, those

But in this class, each group must find its own “boss.” “[Students] will have to do the research, they have to develop a plan, they have to implement that plan and they have to measure the plan,” Wilgenbusch says. “So it’s actually seeing an entire public relations activity through from beginning to end.” Students find it rewarding to see their efforts get real results. During one semester, a group worked with an Amesbased café, helping it win the title of Iowa’s Best Burger.

Madison Hocking, (‘18 public relations), says her group encouraged people to visit the restaurant and most importantly, vote. “It was pretty cool to win. It got a lot of media attention, and it got us a lot of attention throughout Greenlee,” Hocking says. “In the real world, things do happen really quickly, too,” Wilgenbusch says. “Sometimes you do have to just launch a campaign and hope for the best on a short scale, so I think it’s a very realistic approach for the students.” Journalism students also have the opportunity to work with clients. Just weeks into the start
of Deb Gibson’s Feature Writing (JL MC 344) class, the students are assigned stories that will appear in Greenlee Glimpse, the school’s alumni publication.
“The classroom provided a better environment for constructive criticism of your work before it’s published out there,” Holthaus says.
“I try to incorporate as much of the real world into my curriculum as possible ... every time we have an assignment it’s always for some actual publication,” Gibson says. “When it comes to the Glimpse, students not only get this experience for a publication, but then have a [portfolio] clip when done.”
While working for the Glimpse, a lot of the 344 students will write profiles on Greenlee alumni and make connections with their alumni subjects.
Victoria Holthaus, a former JL MC 344 student, says she like a classroom setting that promotes getting her feature article published.
“Everybody remembers being a student here, and so [students and Greenlee graduates] have that connection right off the bat,” Gibson says. —Aurianna Lwin, JL MC 344: Feature Writing

“Finding the Voice in the White House.” That’s the name of the essay that earned Varad Diwate $5,000 and a trip to Washington, D.C., as a recipient of the Hugh S. Sidey Scholarship. Each year one Greenlee School major is selected for the award, which was established by the White House Historical Association (WHHA) and David Rubenstein. It honors the legacy of the late Hugh Sidey, a 1950 Iowa State journalism graduate who covered the White House for decades for Time magazine. Diwate, who grew up in Nashik, a city in western India, graduated from Iowa State in 2016 with degrees in journalism and political science. “I have always been interested in politics and the things that are happening around me,” Diwate says. “Journalism seemed like a good fit.” Applying for the Sidey scholarship allowed Diwate to showcase both his passions. To apply, students submit an essay about reporting on the modern presidency and a news story about politics. Essays have discussed the challenges and responsibilities involved in covering the White House, along with Sidey’s belief that the presidency remains “the most soughtafter, analyzed and scrutinized political office man has devised.” News stories can focus on the executive, judicial or legislative branches and should have a local angle. Diwate’s winning essay focused on the challenges reporters face when covering the White House due to high security, legal battles between the media and the executive branch and the decline in the public’s trust in the media. In addition to receiving a scholarship, Sidey scholars experience D.C. as guests of WHHA. A memorable part of Diwate’s trip was visiting the city’s New York Times bureau and meeting a former White House correspondent. “It was great to have a one-on-one session with him,” Diwate says. “I never thought I would have such an opportunity as a college student.”
Alex Connor, the 2018 recipient, toured CNN, grabbed a coffee with a Washington Post reporter, had brunch with a former press secretary and attended a panel organized by the White House Correspondents’ Association. Another highlight of her adventure was being recognized at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner along with other student honorees from around the country.
LISSANDR A VILL A, 2014
“It was an unforgettable experience to be in a room with my journalism heroes. I was nervous, of course, but everyone was so kind and welcoming,” she says. Lissandra Villa, the 2014 recipient and a 2016 Greenlee graduate, visited Time’s VAR AD DIWATE (WITH CHUCK TODD), 2015 Washington bureau, sat down with an editor at the Washington Post and attended a White House press briefing during her trip. Located in the West Wing of the White House, the press briefing room sits on top of an old indoor swimming pool that was ALE X CONNOR, covered during the Nixon era to accommodate 2018 the growing needs of the media. According to Villa, the tiles from the pool are still visible and it’s a tradition to sign your name on them. She had the opportunity to follow suit, leaving her mark on the White House. “I ended up graduating and pursuing this career [in journalism], and it’s just cool that this was my first introduction, that it had a tie to my school and that it helped open the doors for me to see what it was actually like,” says Villa, who now reports on politics for BuzzFeed. Diwate has since relocated back to India and works as a social media marketing content writer for various brands. He advises students to take advantage of the many opportunities that are available to them. “Greenlee has lots of opportunities to explore your options,” Diwate says. “Some of the faculty members at Greenlee have real-life reporting experience and advice to share. You have many opportunities at Greenlee to do what you love.” —Halee Olson, JL MC 344 : Feature Writing

DUBLIN INTERNSHIP PROGRAM Live and work abroad, experience another culture and return to the states with life skills and smarts through the Dublin Internship Program. The Greenlee School, in partnership with the Iowa State University Study Abroad Center, offers an 11-week summer internship experience for Greenlee majors that meets the school’s 400-hour 499A internship requirement. As part of the application process, you’ll complete an interview in which you’ll share your goals, interests and aspirations. You’ll then be placed in an unpaid internship with a company or organization related to your field. Past Greenlee interns have worked with Dublinbased radio stations, online and print publications, advertising agencies and public relations firms. The cost of the program includes a guaranteed internship placement and housing and is comparable to a typical summer study abroad experience. Plus, the program is growing! Sydney, Australia, has also been added as a location.
The phone rang. He knew his assignment would cover Ireland’s immigrant population, but he had no clue about the man on other end of the line. The only instruction his supervisor gave him was to call this number. The man turned out to be an asylum seeker. That was Austin Anderson’s first of many profile stories on immigrants. Anderson (‘19 journalism and mass communication), had no shortage of stories like this during his internship in Dublin. At first Anderson questioned his ability to fit in a study abroad experience and check off his required internship before graduation. “I knew I wanted to go abroad, but I knew it probably wasn’t possible,” Anderson says. “I asked myself the question: ‘Would you rather be in small-town Iowa or Dublin, Ireland?’ And that was a pretty easy answer.”

The Dublin Internship Program helps students do both. Gaining professional experience with this program makes every day fresh and full of new challenges. “It stretches a person’s mind in ‘what can I do?’” says Juli Probasco-Sowers, Greenlee’s internship coordinator. Angela Jachniw (’18 journalism and mass communication) interned at Maven 46, a data-driven lifestyle and
beauty magazine. Her first story was published her second day on the job. Jachniw’s main duty was to gather information on current trends and create articles, sourced from Pinterest and online research, that were shoppable. She also enjoyed many opportunities to attend public relations events and explore Dublin after hours with her coworkers. “I had a really exceptional life outside of work because of work,” Jachniw says. Alaina Hedrick (’19 advertising, psychology) had a similar positive work life balance. Her boss encouraged her to travel on weekends. Hedrick took the advice and got many passport stamps. Hedrick interned with the Irish Academy of Public Relations in Dun Laoghaire, managing its social media. As an advertising major who found herself in a PR-focused environment, Hedrick researched and implemented a new strategy that included Facebook and Instagram ads. She then measured and analyzed their performance and reach. Hedrick also introduced a live chat box on the academy’s website that allowed students to receive prompt answers to their questions, minimizing the number of phone calls Hedrick’s boss received. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Money aside, culture shock aside, I have some killer stuff for my resume,” Jachniw said. —Lindsey Settle, JL MC 344: Feature Writing

Chase Kusel sat at his desk finishing his work for the day. He’d written a press release, drafted a few tweets and created a media contact list. Just before standing to leave, he was approached by his boss, who asked him to take on another assignment—writing a speech for Sonny Perdue, the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture. The next day, Kusel, USDA communications intern, proudly listened to Perdue read his speech to an audience in Washington, D.C. Kusel was the perfect fit for the summer internship, created by the USDA and the Future Farmers of America to encourage past FFA officers to gain more experience in the field. In high school, the Belle Plaine, Iowa, native served as state FFA secretary. He traveled to Iowa high schools and held leadership workshops, gave speeches at FFA events, planned leadership conferences and organized the state convention held in Ames at Hilton Coliseum. In college, Kusel drew on that leadership experience in his role as president of Iowa State’s Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) chapter. He helped guide the executive board to run smoothly, delegated tasks, stayed in contact with the PRSSA national organization and worked with the chapter adviser, Erin Wilgenbusch, Greenlee associate teaching professor in public relations. Kusel joined the club as a freshman. He was soon recognized for his potential and encouraged to pursue an executive member position. To his surprise, he was elected PRSSA vice president as a sophomore. This position included planning club meetings, a familiar task dating back to his FFA days.
Kusel takes most pride in a spring PRSSA trip he planned to Chicago as vice president. Members toured public relations agencies and met with the Chicago Bulls’ communications department. “The thing I enjoyed most was being able to see everyone at the end of the trip talk about how much they were able to learn and what a worthwhile experience it was for them,” Kusel says. Within the Iowa State PRSSA chapter, the role of the president is a little more hands off with meetings and more hands on with strategy. “Having been a vice president, he understands the needs of the executive team and what they need from him as president,” Wilgenbusch says. Kusel says he couldn’t have accomplished so much without his team, so having their support was critical. Their goals included increasing club membership and attracting members majoring in subjects other than public relations. They also diversified the opportunities PRSSA offers so club members gain the best experience as possible and are prepared for their careers.
“I’m so proud of PRSSA as a whole,” Kusel says. “We have a stellar group of people involved with PRSSA. They are solid students, so it’s cool to see that they are enjoying their time being involved.” Kusel encourages all current and incoming Iowa State students to get involved. His experience with the student organization even led him to another summer internship, this one with a strategic consulting, marketing and commmunications agency that has an agriculture focus. A former Iowa State PRSSA member connected him. “There’s some things when it comes to the working of a communications department that you can’t learn in a classroom,” Kusel says. —Kendall Sharp, JL MC 344: Feature Writing
