The Stroud Courier returned a prominent contributor, Sophie Rogers, to the role of Arts and Entertainment editor this semester.

Rogers is a commuter student and a senior communications major. Her presence on campus is well known due to her being the president of PRSSA, social media intern for the college of arts and sciences, and the arts and entertainment editor. Rogers is also enrolled in the Honors program. 

Rogers has always been passionate about communication and states that “Communication has always been something I have been interested in” when asked how she came to discover her career path at ESU.  

“I have always enjoyed practicing communication” Rogers explained, “and loved public speaking”

Rogers finds joy in spending time with her friends and attending events on campus even though she is a commuter. She explained that one of her all time favorite annual event on campus is the Howl, and said she finds the costumes and silly scares fun. 

“I love being a part of ESU’s community. I have made so many friends and had the chance to take part in so many amazing activities,” Rogers said. 

“Being an editor has allowed me to not only build skills but also has allowed me to make meaningful connections. I love getting to see the stories everyone writes.” said Rogers when asked about her favorite part of being an editor for the Stroud Courier. 

When not working for the campus radio, paper, or PRSSA, Rogers enjoys calm moments at home as well where she can put on her favorite Netflix series. She finds peace spending time with her family and hobbies to maintain her work life balance.
