Jerry Chen

My name is Jerry Chen and I am a senior majoring in sociology in Purdue’s College of Liberal Arts. I work primarily under Greg Kostraba and write Public Service Announcements for local classes, activities, and leisure events of interest to WBAA listeners.  One thing that my experience at WBAA has taught me is how to break down complex words into simple syllables and research proper pronunciation for uncommon names of people and organizations.  This style of writing is very different from academic writing and will prove useful for work beyond radio. After I graduate, I would like to pursue a postgraduate education. The ability to write efficiently  and with brevity will help me in both the application process, as well as in the graduate program I hope to ultimately attend.
