- [00:00:08.264]My name is Katelyn Workman
- [00:00:09.768]and I'm studying Communication Studies
- [00:00:11.803]at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
- [00:00:13.646]I decided to major in Communication Studies
- [00:00:15.737]because I felt like it provided me
- [00:00:17.731]with the skills and knowledge to succeed in my career path.
- [00:00:20.451]In Family Communication, we learned about
- [00:00:22.211]how families may have certain issues,
- [00:00:24.600]and how they overcome them.
- [00:00:26.903]In my Organizational class,
- [00:00:29.237]we learned about how different organizations communicate,
- [00:00:32.320]and how your well-being
- [00:00:35.144]can be affected by it.
- [00:00:37.500]In my Interpersonal Communications class,
- [00:00:39.706]we learned about communicating with others,
- [00:00:42.394]and how you might have to adapt
- [00:00:44.463]if there are different cultures,
- [00:00:45.882]or maybe just have a different perspective on the topic.
- [00:00:48.298]The most important thing that I've learned
- [00:00:49.834]is how to communicate effectively.
- [00:00:52.464]Sometimes, it's harder
- [00:00:54.289]to communicate with certain people,
- [00:00:55.815]especially professionals,
- [00:00:57.181]or if you're having interviews.
- [00:00:58.778]It's been really helpful in my Comm-Studies degree,
- [00:01:02.330]learning how to communicate effectively
- [00:01:04.063]with teachers or with students.
- [00:01:06.560]Working with the Communications Studies faculty
- [00:01:08.491]has been a great experience for me so far.
- [00:01:10.859]I've gone in to office hours.
- [00:01:13.855]I've asked for help a few times.
- [00:01:15.608]It's also really nice
- [00:01:17.074]seeing some of my teachers outside of the classroom,
- [00:01:19.251]and seeing them with other Communication Studies teachers.
- [00:01:22.945]You can just see that they have formed relationships.
- [00:01:25.598]It makes you more willing to go in to their office hours.
- [00:01:28.963]The coolest thing about being a Communication Studies major
- [00:01:31.193]is the connections you make.
- [00:01:33.145]Since it isn't a big major,
- [00:01:35.867]you are having these smaller classes,
- [00:01:38.166]and you're having that one-on-one attention
- [00:01:39.697]with the teachers.
- [00:01:41.076]You're also getting to know your classmates more.
- [00:01:44.589]So, you are getting more connections.
- [00:01:47.633]It's really nice to know your peers
- [00:01:49.525]when you walk into a classroom.
- [00:01:51.451]With my Communication Studies degree,
- [00:01:53.147]I'm planning on graduating
- [00:01:54.988]in December of 2016.
- [00:01:56.802]And then, getting a job in the Human Resources Department.
- [00:02:00.239]An advice I would give to a Communications Studies major
- [00:02:03.559]is really to interact in the classroom,
- [00:02:07.065]and get to know your teacher.
- [00:02:09.292]Interact in the classroom.
- [00:02:10.992]It's really how much you put into the degree
- [00:02:13.444]is how much you're gonna get out of it.
- [00:02:15.671]By interacting, you're making those connections
- [00:02:17.584]with the students,
- [00:02:19.248]engaging in the material,
- [00:02:20.709]and also making
- [00:02:22.193]that professional relationship with your teacher.
- [00:02:25.146]And maybe even down the line,
- [00:02:26.577]you might need a reference or something like that.
- [00:02:28.564]That might be helpful
- [00:02:29.965]by having that relationship.
