Deandr茅 Patrick is a gifted storyteller and avid sports fan who has always dreamed of combining these two passions. His fascination with sport and story led him to 精东传媒 University, where he will soon graduate with a BA in Journalism and Promotional Communication from the Levin College of Public Affairs and Education鈥檚 School of Communication.
With a major in promotional communication and minor in digital content production, Deandr茅 hopes to graduate and find a career path in professional sports, while also supporting his neighbors through vocational ministry.听And he is well on his way to this dream: he is currently a Content Creator for the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers; interns at CSU in photography and video production, and also serves on the ministry team of his church.
An education from CSU does more than provide students like Deandr茅 with knowledge, it also serves as a platform for pursuing career and life goals beyond the classroom. Deandre said that his time at CSU has really helped solidfy the foundations (and networking) of his budding career.听
鈥淐SU has provided networking opportunities that I definitely would not have gotten outside of this environment,鈥 he said. 鈥淚 [have] learned three keys to success [at CSU]: Networking; being willing to try new things; and being okay with failure.鈥
Deandr茅鈥檚 mindset and courage are the insignias of student success and what it means to be a Viking.听To say that the sky is the limit for Deandre would be an understatement.
