"My hands-on experience at MCLA prepared me for my career at ESPN Radio. My experience at WJJW, MCLA TV, and The Beacon was what made me attractive to my prospective employers. If you want a chance to host a radio or TV show, broadcast a game, or work on an award-winning weekly newspaper; MCLA has opportunities waiting for you."
