Overview
Bachelor of Arts
Major: Integrated Marketing Communication
Expected Graduation: Spring 2024
Hometown: Topeka, Kansas
Hi there. My name is Shala Johnson from Topeka, Kansas. I will graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Integrating Marketing Communication at 红领巾瓜报 in May of 2024 and will enter graduate school pursuing my master鈥檚 degree in communication after that. I am currently interning at Visit Wichita, a visitor and convention bureau. I am a marketing intern with responsibilities such as writing and social media management. I have the opportunity to create fun TikTok鈥檚 and numerous blog posts that I am super proud of. Of course, I am a part of the amazing Widener Global Leaders Program, in the third cohort where I can network and evolve professionally and individually. However, I think my favorite part of the program is dressing professionally with the other participants.
I am looking to become more involved on campus through the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) organization. Outside of WSU, I am looking to become a member of the American Marketing Association (AMA). These organizations help me improve my top two passions, myself, and my marketing skills. I have utilized the classes in my major, my three previous internships, my current fourth internship, and additional organizations. By doing so, I have met so many amazing people and have made long-lasting friendships.
A quote that represents my life is, 鈥淎round here, however, we don鈥檛 look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things鈥� and curiosity keep leading us down new paths.鈥� This quote is from the movie Meet the Robinsons. I didn鈥檛 necessarily have a set plan coming into college, I just knew WSU was where I needed to be. Looking back, that was one of the best decisions I have made, and I am so grateful to be involved and a Widener Global Leaders Program participant.
