When Kennedy Morgan arrived at AU, she knew she was interested in politics. Through the School of Communication, she discovered how to turn that passion into purpose.
As a broadcast journalism and political science double major, Kennedy built a career path centered on public service. At her her internship at FOX 5 DC, where Morgan said she learned the importance of pitching stories that mattered to her. "You cannot sit and wait for somebody to give you something to do. If you want to do something, you can just do it," she said.
On campus, Morgan continued to merge her interests in production and politics through the Kennedy Political Union, where she served as head of production and helped run and stream events. As a freshman, she worked on an SOC event featuring Kaitlan Collins and Kristen Welker, an experience that made the field feel tangible.
“Kristen Welker started out at one of my dream stations, NBC10 in Philly,” she said, recalling helping run that event as a moment she could truly see herself in the industry.
Outside of academics, AU in Motion, the university’s student-run dance club, offered a creative outlet and grounding space. Over 4 years, she choreographed and performed in the club’s semester showcases and even choreographed an opening performance for Tinashe alongside Adela Camposano at AU’s fall concert through the Kogod School of Business.
Congratulations, Kennedy! 🎓👏
