The University of Mississippi’s Association of Black Journalism hosted the Newsmaker Lecture Series October 18 through October 21. Marquita Brown, Oscar Pope, and John Peters were invited to inform students about their lives after graduating Ole Miss.
Brown, Pope, and Peters discussed how internships will increase the chance of graduates getting jobs, and how the economy has affected each of their lives and careers.
Peters said, “After my freshmen year here at Ole Miss, I actually quit my first internship. I was really discouraged in myself. I then participated in the Washington internship which got me the legal experiences I needed and allowed me to meet people that helped me get my job today.”
