Dunmorean Online Editor Emily Fedor recently traveled to South Carolina to cover the state’s Republican primary for NBC News with a group of her classmates and professors from the Roy H. Park School of Communications at Ithaca College.

The nine journalism students visited  a number of different locations, including the state capital of Columbia as well as a few local colleges and universities, to gage the thoughts and opinions of millennial voters in regard to the current presidential election.

During the course of the trip, Fedor contributed content that was featured in online articles and in posts made on NBC BLK’s Instagram. She additionally took over NBC News’s SnapChat account with one of her classmates on the day of the primary and provided hourly updates on the scene of the campaign trail.

Fedor is currently  a senior journalism major at Ithaca College scheduled to graduate this coming May.
