Here's star student @Kes_Morris from @RSJNevada who shares one of her favorite class assignment memories so far, reporting on a ride along. She's finding herself again, she says, which is the magic of finding the right path ... Video by @the_watch_kat

@calvertphoto You were a good lab instructor!! Can’t convince me otherwise haha.

[Kathleen Leslie @the_watch_kat]

I’m almost done with #rsj108. My #advice for future students who take this class would be to take it one step at a time.

Even when everything seems overwhelming, you’ll make it through. Especially with the support of a good lab instructor and the people in your class.

Sexual Assault Awareness Month was in April. Although it’s May, this is still a pressing issue that needs to be talked about.

If you have been through this, you are not invisible.
You won’t be erased.
You are not alone.
You are a survivor.
You are still worthy of love.
You are more than what happened you.
You are still whole.

In #rsj108 we learned about unpleasant design. If you want to learn more listen to this podcast https://t.co/wDUM9alU8i!

I saw this example of unpleasant design at the Amtrak Station in Oregon.

Happy #ArborDay! Arbor day was started by a man who was undoubtedly passionate about planting trees.

@CityofReno participated by planting a tree at the Biggest Little Dog Park on North Virginia Street. #rsj108 peeps, if you have the time take a break and check it out!

Here's one of my cat when she was a kitten! Even as things get busy remember to take time to relax and have fun.

In my media writing class I learned how to make press releases. For practice I made a flyer about the Nevada Humane Society.

The NHS is doing good work to protect the #animals :). If anyone in #rsj108 is looking for a kitten now it the perfect time to adopt!

I asked him about how he fell in love with graphic design and this is what he said:

“I first realized I’d fallen in love with graphic design when I found myself stressing over the way the maker colors worked together on the whiteboard in chemistry class,” said Aaron Blum.

In #rsj108 we got the opportunity to have meaningful conversations with fellow UNR students.

This is Aaron Blum!! He is a journalism major and a graphic design minor.

The image below is of the GMSL. This stands for Global Mean Sea Level. I made this visual about the ocean levels rising for #rsj108.

What does this mean?

[Kathleen Leslie @the_watch_kat]

What this means:

Ocean levels rising is detrimental for animals and humans living in costal regions. It leads to concerns of flooding. This destroys the homes of humans and animals.
