Campus Champion

Blend first-rate writing, photography, videography and social media skills with a captivating personality and one might suggest a career in public relations. Jamon Kenshay Davis figured this out early and this summer the senior communication studies major will return to his hometown of Brooklyn to intern at a cinematography firm. But first, along with carrying 20 credit hours, Jamon is editing Multicultural Life and Diversity Office’s Race Project video, serving on a team preparing for April’s Blackbird Film Festival, shooting a promo film for the It’s On Us campaign and speaking at and photographing the April 1 Kente celebration.
