🎓 Graduate Spotlight: Jess Shelton

From Colorado Springs, CO, Jess is graduating with a BA in Psychology & Communications.

After graduation, he plans to attend graduate school at either the University of Michigan or George Mason University to pursue a Master’s Degree in Sports Management 🎥🏀

His advice to new Honors students:
“Take advantage of it! There’s so many opportunities to study topics that you’re interested in further through Honors courses or Honors projects, and it’s absolutely worth taking advantage of it in the end.”

Jess works as a sports creative at CU Denver, where he’s been able to grow his passion for photography and digital media. He hopes to build a career in the sports industry as a photographer or digital media manager for a professional team or NCAA athletics program 📸

One of his favorite Honors experiences has been using Honors Contracts to deepen his skills in photography and digital media throughout his undergraduate career. He says he’ll miss the freedom and opportunities to explore topics he’s passionate about through personalized projects.

Congratulations, Jess! We can’t wait to see where your creativity takes you next ✨

Stay tuned for more graduate spotlights in the next few weeks! 🤩
