For this package, I wanted to explore the growing issue of FOMO — the fear of missing out — and how it affects college students both socially and mentally. I spoke with Britani Black, a licensed psychologist and recent Marshall graduate, to better understand how constant comparison, social media pressure, and the fast-paced college environment contribute to feelings of anxiety and isolation.

A feature story exploring Morrow Library, Marshall University’s oldest and most overlooked study space. The piece highlights the library’s Special Collections, home to materials that stretch back centuries, rare documents, and museum style displays. It shows why students and staff consider the library one of the true hidden gems on campus.

When most of the campus has gone quiet, a different side of Marshall comes alive. Long after students head back to their dorms, overnight crews step in to keep the university running. From custodial staff moving through empty hallways to campus safety officers patrolling the grounds, these are the people who work while the rest of us sleep.

For this package, I wanted to highlight the ongoing sustainability efforts happening right here on Marshall’s campus. I spent time with Amy White, the head of the Sustainability Department, to learn more about the university’s expanding composting initiative and the work being done behind the scenes to reduce waste.

This package takes viewers inside Greek Fest, one of Huntington’s most popular cultural events. The festival brings the community together through authentic Greek food, music, dance, and tradition. Through interviews, lively visuals, and natural sound, the story highlights how Greek Fest offers the region a taste of heritage and a sense of community that keeps people coming back year after year.
