Schmidt to Serve as PR Intern

The Public Relations Office has named Ben Schmidt, a senior communication major, as the spring 2020 intern.

As the intern for the Public Relations Office, Schmidt will help create promotional videos for the University to be displayed on different social media accounts, including the popular Fishbowl Friday videos every week. He hopes these videos will also be used by any soon-to-be college students to give them an idea of what to expect when coming to Truman.

On campus, Schmidt is a member of the JujiTSU men’s ultimate frisbee team and is involved with the Catholic Newman Center.

A 2016 graduate of St. Pius X High School in Kansas City, he is the son of Eric and Christi Schmidt.

Schmidt says his true passion lies in videography and video creation, and he is excited to help promote a positive image of the University. He plans to go into the film industry after graduation and is thrilled to gain experience while working with the Public Relations Office.
