Who's That Girl?

Wondering who's been posting stories on the blog?  Enjoying the Facebook posts and curious as to who's been writing them?  Wishing you had a face and a name to send questions and story ideas to?  Look no further, it's time to meet this year's EPSCoR Communication Intern, Morgan Patton.

Morgan is a first-year Graduate student in the Communication and Journalism Department at the University of Wyoming.  She is pursuing a Master's in Communication while teaching public speaking courses as a Graduate Teaching Assistant.  Morgan previously attended the University of Northern Colorado where she earned her Bachelor's Degree in two different areas.  She double majored in Communication Studies as well as Journalism and Media Studies with an emphasis in Strategic Communication.  


In addition to being a full time student, Morgan worked with UNC Admissions where she was a Student Ambassador, Tour Guide, Admissions Assistant, Outreach Caller, Student Event Organizer, and Social Media Coordinator.  She also volunteered as a State Rifle Instructor, Weld County Shooting Sports Council Vice-President, and Orion Team Member for Colorado 4-H Shooting Sports.  What can we say?  She has a passion for working with people.  Her work experience, coupled with her schooling, has made her a promising candidate for this year's Communication Internship.  

As organizations look to move completely online, Morgan plans to step into a Public Relations Coordinator position.  She will be working with the EPSCoR team to create an entirely virtual platform where audiences can continue gathering and sharing research.  

While she keeps busy with work, school, and her professional life, Morgan also enjoys volunteering with Colorado 4-H Shooting Sports, spending time with family, taking her dog (Mando) on walks, reading, meeting up with friends for Bible study, taking photos, singing, filling out her planner, working on her boyfriend's family ranch, and finding new ways to get involved in her local community.  

We are so excited to introduce you to this year's EPSCoR Communication Intern!  If you do have any story ideas or questions about the program, Morgan would love to hear from you!  Feel free to contact her at mpatton8@uwyo.edu.
