This April will mark the 10th year that the The Edward R. Murrow College of Communication at Washington State University Students will participate in the  The Sony Student NAB Experience Program.

In the last 10 years there have been over 50 students from the Murrow College who have participated in the program.  Many of them have exciting careers in the broadcast industry today. Some notable anchors and reporters are   Rachel Giffoni ( 2009) of WINK TV, Fort Meyers, FL,  Anchor/reporters  Veronica Miracle (2012) , KLEW TV, Lewiston ID;  Morning Weather Anchor Nick Allard (2003)-  KGW, Portland OR, and Anchor Ana Cabrera (2004)- KMGH, Denver, CO.  Other former interns have taken positions as executive producers and producers of popular shows like Top Chef. Currently Katie Vaughan (2006) is a producer on Hell’s Kitchen Season 11.
