What was your favorite part about working with The Argonaut?
Friendship
Although I learned a lot about journalism and being a reporter at The Argonaut, the friends I had during my time there are what made the job so special.

Deadline connections
The energy in the Arg newsroom when filled with fantastic people working toward a deadline is one of a kind. The memories will last a lifetime.

The Arg family
While covering a men’s basketball double-OT thriller on a tight deadline got the blood pumping, nothing will beat the relationships I built while working at the Arg.
— Korbin McDonald, Vandal Nation Manager, 2014-15
Friends and connections
Absolutely the friendships and connections I made while I was there. Not only did I gain lifelong relationships, I also gained a permanent community both while I was in college and after. I also learned so many skills while working in Student Media, things like interpersonal communication, project management, organization, critical thinking, being able to think on your feet and working in fast-paced environments. To succeed in The Argonaut newsroom takes an incredibly diverse and practical skill set. I use those skills every single day.

Invaluable experience
I was lucky enough to work with some of the most talented people I’ve ever met during my four years at The Arg. But they weren’t just coworkers, they were family. The skills I built, friendships I made and stories I shared were easily the best part of my college experience.

Connections for a lifetime
The Argonaut brought together a great group of people, all with the same goal: getting a paper out. Despite any differences, we worked to create a product we were proud of, every week. Once you do that again and again, week by week, all those weirdos turn out to be your friends. And years later, they still are.
— Lindsey Treffry, Production Manager, 2013
Talent and passion
There’s something special about working in a newsroom surrounded by talented, passionate students with whom you share the same goals. You form a bond not only with each other but to the thrill of meeting press deadline, being creative in unexpected ways and yelling across the room to turn the TV down. There’s no better place to be on a school night and a place to hone your journalism skills in a real-life setting doesn’t hurt.
— Katy Sword, News Editor, 2013
I miss you all
Theo, Sean, Korbin, Josh and anyone else that was in the newsroom that year. You guys made The Argonaut one of my favorite college memories.

Curiosity
My favorite part of working at The Arg: Getting to be obnoxiously curious — and getting paid for it.
