Media’s Favorite Memories

By: Madelyn Beyer

Media is noted for its freedom around the capitol. Truly, running around, filming, interviewing, and observing is where these amazing delegates thrive. So many amazing memories were made this year, and here are some of Media’s favorite memories.

Kayden Bossenbroek is a Sophomore from the Fond du Lac delegation. When asked about his Media experience, he had fond things to say: “The conference has been such a wild ride, I feel like being in Media really puts into perspective the amount of work that every single branch and every single delegation has put into this conference and the scope of what it is now.” Kayden mentioned how he got to “walk around” to meet and “ask whoever” he wanted for interviews. “I got to see what it means for them to be here.” His beautifully worked response truly describes how Media serves to help delegates branch out and meet new people. 

Nat Salm is a freshman from the Fox Cities, and it is her second year in Media. She compared her experience this year to her time at last year’s conference. “I think my favorite thing from Media this year was getting to meet the new people and helping teach them,” she said, remarking that it was a “learning curve” for everyone and a “learning experience” for her. “Last year I was in one program area, and I didn’t get much experience. I didn’t get to explore the capitol as much as I did this year.” Nat then goes on to explain that the Madison Capitol building is “expansive and beautiful.” 

Truly there are so many benefits to every branch. However, Media delegates typically think back on their experience as extremely positive and impactful. There are endless possibilities and your mind is your limit. Think outside the box and anything is achievable.
