Alex Scharg: MSU Journalist

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at MSU chapter.

Name: Alex Scharg

Major: Journalism and Media Information Technology

Year: Senior

 

 

Involvements on Campus: Founder and director of Impact Sports, audio production for Spartan Sports Network, campus marketing for Neebo and Street King Energy Drinks, MSU Greek Life Fundraising, and MSU Student produced newscast, Focal Point.

 

How did you become so involved?

I was really interested in a lot of the characteristics in each group or organization. I had always wanted to make a media organization that was fresh and relevant. I started as a DJ on the impact and they basically let me create a position and go out on my own to do Impact Sports. I just liked being able to do what I was doing and help other people at the same time.

 

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I see myself doing what I love. Hopefully I’ll be going to other college campuses and starting other student run college media stations. Maybe I’ll work for a TV station, but who knows.

 

Fun fact about yourself?

I was a musical theater geek in high school and captain of the basketball team. I’ve played the piano since I was five and love to listen to music in my free time, but I don’t have that much free time anymore.
