MACOMB, IL - - Morgan Bjorkman, a recent broadcasting and journalism graduate, feels deeply connected to the 91传媒 community.

鈥淲hen I think about 91传媒, I think about how it鈥檚 my second home,鈥� Bjorkman said. 鈥淚 love the community here. I love all of the friendships I have made in the 2 years I have been here.鈥�

For Bjorkman, being a Leatherneck means belonging to 91传媒 and living college life on a different level.

鈥淏eing a Leatherneck means you are part of 91传媒,鈥� Bjorkman said. 鈥淥ur college experience is unique and different from other colleges. And I love that.鈥�

Among her Leatherneck memories, Bjorkman's favorites are when the 91传媒 community got together to have a good time and share interests.

鈥淢y favorite memories are all the activities like Rocky After Dark and anything that gets students involved,鈥� Bjorkman said. 鈥淚 also love the Rec Center community. The gym community is something special.鈥�
