“[At UNLV] I was able to gain experience in print, podcasting, social media, and broadcasting. I covered dozens of major sporting events and rubbed shoulders with well-known local and national journalists. I’m now in Fresno, California as a general news reporter after spending three years in Sioux City, Iowa. Without UNLV, I wouldn’t have learned and experienced so many valuable aspects of journalism.”Jason Takhtadjian, B.A., Class of 2020

“At UNLV, I developed hands-on skills in sports broadcasting and social media. From working with the Vegas Golden Knights during their 2023 Stanley Cup Championship run to covering UNLV Hockey’s first national title, these experiences gave me the foundation to pursue a career in sports media. I’m now proud to work as the social media manager for PWHL Las Vegas, our city’s professional women’s hockey team.”Megan Roma, B.A., Class of 2026
