My projects range from digital marketing plans to helping plan coverage for the 2016 election.

As an English major, it definitely gives me a lot of hope for the future of high quality journalism." 2013 CLASS AGENT Preston R.

UPSTATE offers very limited runs of distinct and unique articles of clothing. We launched our first line of shorts via Kickstarter in March 2015, and we are currently focused on fulfilling these orders while working on future lines of clothing."
