All i's on Jackie

Jackie works as an Associate Director of Student Media at Clemson University. She likes working with college kids because they are fun and interesting. Part of her job is to critique the students work in the newspaper. You want to be sure all your facts are correct, and she had four people check over her work. If you publish something that is incorrect it is hard to get back and your reputation could be damaged. It's really important that you triple check your work before you publish. Her advice for her students was to reread their work and ask themselves how do they know it. The most important thing she learned in college is always ask for help. If you don't try it you won't succeed. Work hard from the start. Don't forget that you can do anything, so don't let yourself get in the way of your dreams. They are fun because they are learning and growing. Learning about themselves and the world.
