Tent City has officially returned to Morgantown! This is the second year that students have set up camp on the green behind the Mountainlair in anticipation for the WVU Homecoming game. Students who camp out all week will be entered to win a pair of field passes to the Mountaineers’ 2015 Homecoming game against Oklahoma State on Saturday, October 10.

My name is Alison, I'm 21 years old and currently a junior at West Virginia University. I'm pursuing a degree in Television Journalism with a minor in English. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, analyzing films and writing. Some of my favorite things are my sorority (Kappa Kappa Gamma), dogs, Chipotle, NYC, champagne, the Yankees and Netflix. Someday, I hope to be an anchor at Fox News in New York, a travel blogger, or a magazine editor.

  I grew up in Charleston, West Virginia. Growing up here I knew there was a possibility of going to West Virginia University my entire life. Although I decided to start my college career at the University of Kentucky, those country roads led me back to WVU in the spring of my sophomore year. This was also the point when I decided to establish myself as a Broadcast Journalist student. Since this point I have strived to become the best possible journalist I can be. I am currently working as a weekend reporter for WDTV-Channel 5 in Clarksburg, West Virginia. Prior to receiving this position, I worked as an intern with WCHS-tv/FOX11, in the summer of 2014, where I learned critical editing, interviewing, writing, and speaking skills. I worked closely with anchors, reporters, editors, directors, producers, and even the web team. Aside from the television industry, I am the Campus Correspondent for the West Virginia University Chapter of the online entertainment magazine, Her Campus. Another position I currently hold is the Social Media Chair of WVU’s Radio Television Digital News Association Chapter. In the Fall of 2012, I became a sister of the Alpha Phi Fraternity, in which I held the position of ‘Big Sister Chairman.’ My other passions include horse back riding, scuba diving, being outdoors, and running. I am very adventurous and I try to stay well rounded. My goal in life is to live life to the fullest and be the best possible version of myself. My ultimate goal would be to earn a spot as a reporter/anchor for Fox News, New York. I plan to graduate in December of 2016 and look forward to my future.
