We Run This Show: Amanda Bernardin '13 and Sarah Granger '13

Before all you DePauw students get out of Greencastle for Spring Break (and the rest of you get outside to enjoy Spring!), take some time to get to know sophomores Amanda Bernardin and Sarah Granger!

Amanda and Sarah got their start with the station the same way many D3TV staff members did: by joining "The Source." Amanda spent two semesters serving as a sports reporter for the show while Sarah was a news reporter and anchor. After only a few semesters, they were able to get positions on the D3TV Executive Board. Amanda stuck to her sports roots by taking the position of Sports Director, which means she is in charge of the sports content for "The Source" and any other sports on the station. Sarah is D3TV's Web Director and is responsible for the station's website and overseeing the social media accounts connected to the station.

In addition to her work at D3TV, Amanda is a DJ at WGRE, where she has been involved every semester she has been at DePauw. She knew before enrolling at DePauw that she wanted to be involved in broadcasting, and her time at D3TV has only furthered that passion. Amanda's time at D3TV has encouraged her to pursue a career with a sports production company, and she someday hopes to broadcast for the NFL. Sports are not Amanda's only interest, though: she hasn't missed an episode of "One Tree Hill" in eight seasons!

Sarah came to DePauw with some broadcasting experience, and she knew she was interested in getting involved in D3TV right away. In addition to her work on "The Source" and with D3TV's web presence, she also helped tape an original show that fellow board member Kaitlin Klose '13 created, "Connections to the Castle." When she has a break in her busy schedule to watch some television, Sarah likes to keep up with DePauw news by watching "The Source" and enjoying the humor of "Psych." After graduation, Sarah hopes to use her media background and technology knowledge to pursue a career in graphic design or computer science.

No matter what your major, grade, or media experience, Amanda and Sarah encourage all DePauw students to come out and get involved. "It's a great thing to have on a resume and it is so much fun to be a part of," Sarah said. "There is something extra gratifying about seeing yourself on TV!"

We hope you enjoyed getting a look at two of our sophomore board members! We'll be back with new spotlights and D3TV happenings on March 29, so be sure to check back!
