''A Safe Place to Grow...and Learn''

For December grad Tristan Lorei, The Breeze was the confidence-boost he needed as a photographer.

"I came to JMU at 20 years old not really knowing if I had any talent with photography or if it was what I could do for my career," Tristan wrote in a column in this week''s edition. "I was given a safe place to grow and mess up and learn at The Breeze while being mentored by some incredibly talented people. I had professors all around me in SMAD and at The Breeze who were OK with being inundated by my questions and requests for help. Many people don''t get that at the beginning of their career and I''m so grateful for it. Through all this, I was able to gain the confidence in myself and my career choice for which I had searched for years."

This is why The Breeze is here: to help JMU students discover their talent, refine it and take it into a world in need of excellent storytellers.

Read the whole column here.
