Hi! I’m Caryn (Steinman) Murillo. I work as a Public Health Analyst at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). I graduated from Marquette in 2010 with degrees in Communication Studies and Psychology. I’m originally from Buffalo Grove, IL, but have been living in Atlanta, GA for the past 8.5 years. I moved here for my job at the CDC, but now can’t imagine living anywhere else. …

The Diederich College of Communication mourns the loss of Bob Sheridan, Comm ’58, who passed away on November 8. His longtime friend, Paul Salsini, shares memories of Bob’s life and their times together.

When he was a senior at Marquette University High School, Bob Sheridan applied to Marquette and was accepted as a premedical student. But then he discovered how “hopeless” he was in a chemistry class, and a friend, he wrote later, told him that journalism students were “incredibly smart, funny and admired.”

He changed his application to journalism.

Lucky for journalism, because after he graduated in 1958, Robert E. …

Dinesh Sabu joined the Diederich College of Communication this fall as an assistant professor of digital media and performing arts. We caught up with him to get to know him a little better and introduce him to you.

I grew up in Louisiana and New Mexico, but I’ve lived in Chicago for most of my adult life. I moved to Milwaukee from the Bay Area, California, where I lived for the last several years. Chicago and the Midwest feel like home, and it’s great to be back.

I went to the University of Chicago for undergrad and worked in the documentary community in Chicago for about a decade afterwards. I recently got my Masters of Fine Arts (MFA) in Documentary Film and Video from Stanford. The MFA is a terminal degree in the arts. As a practitioner, it is the closest thing you can get to a PhD. …

Andrew Amouzou, a sophomore majoring in journalism and minoring in digital media took the Diederich College’s Instagram along for a ride and showed off his day for a recent #studenttakeover.

Overall, Tuesdays are usually my most hectic days, and being able to take over the Diederich College’s Instagram brought some new excitement to the day. At first, it was weird (a good weird) that I was going to be filming myself as I went through my day; however, I eventually got creative and put together the day’s events and activities nicely. I knew I wanted to include my morning routine, as well as my barber appointment because it would allow people to see how unique my day was. …

In honor of #transferstudentweek, we caught up with Maria Moran Avila, who transferred to Marquette University and the College of Communication after attending Universidad San Francisco de Quito and Waubonsee Community College.

Tell us about yourself! I’m a senior in the College of Communication studying Communication Studies and Psychology; I will graduate in 2021. I’m originally from Quito, Ecuador.

What brought you to Marquette? It was a combination of many different things, but I really fell in love with the larger city and campus town environment that Marquette has.

What was the biggest adjustment after transferring? Being in a larger city all by myself was daunting at first. I had to learn how to be more responsible not only with school and work, but I acquired big financial responsibilities as well. Figuring out how to balance everything in my life was a challenge. …
