Leaving the heart of journalism after two years
By Alyssa Britton-Harr | Aug. 5As I take the next step in my journalism career, I will never forget the people and the place that took a chance on me as a young journalist. The Alligator was a huge part of my first two years at college. I spent every semester, including the summers, covering sports I am passionate about and improving my journalistic skills. I still remember the day my first article about the UF golf team was published, and it was a moment that I will cherish forever because it further ignited my love for storytelling. As a freshman who knew little about journalism, The Alligator welcomed me with open arms and inspired me to become a better writer.
