Student Spotlight!

Meet Devante Herron, a Senior in Media Management

Meet Devante Herron, a senior media management major with minors in law and politics and sociology! Devante recently had an internship as a student marketer at Red Bull, where he helped out with Ultra Music Festival, and the F1 Miami Grand Prix. He also interned with the Florida Justice Institute to help with sealing and expungement cases, as well as immigration. Here's a little advice Devante has to share.

“Make sure you take every opportunity presented to you and always have confidence in yourself because you never know where that can take you. It's ok to have your own path and not compare to others, as everyone is different with a different journey in life.”
