Focus on Current Students

Amanda Bishop has been doing very well in an internship with the SC Baptist Courier this semester. She's a journalism major and made a good impression with the Board of Trustees at their last meeting when she briefed them about her experience. She has been writing articles for them, but also has helped teach them how to use the layout software they're planning to use for a major paper redesign.
