Natalie Almeida came to RWU with in interest in politics, a fascination with the media, and a desire to do work related to her Portuguese and Cape Verdean culture. She decided on a unique major and minor combination that fit both her passions. “I used journalism as a way to see how different ethnicities and different people are portrayed in the media,” said Almeida. “I learned how to interact with the media and to understand why things are reported in the way they are.”
