Alumni Profile: Elizabeth Leffall
To Fresno State alumae, Elizabeth Leffall, her time working at The Collegian helped her career plans immensely.
Leffall, a print and broadcast journalism double major, graduated in the fall of 2005 and is now on her way to receiving her teaching credentials through the Fresno State program.
The Collegian provided Leffall with essential networking opportunities. She said she also found that having her work published and receiving constructive criticism on her work helped her to gain the means to become a better writer.
Leffall also mentions that there are a couple of new things happening with the Collegian such as the creation of a new position, Associate Editor, and their website, which has established a discussion forum.
In the fall 2006, Leffall will continue to work at The Collegian as a freelance writer. Without a doubt, she has created a place for herself at the Collegian, spending eight to ten hours there a day.
“We all really worked hard and it made us appreciate what we were doing,” Leffall said. “We’re a part of school history,”
Leffall would like to see the MCJ Alumni and Friends Chapter create a way to keep contact between the graduating classes and help her stay informed about the people she graduated with.
