Edward Smith is first-year mass communications student at Chattanooga State. He dreams of working in satellite radio, and he's learning the skills he needs to succeed in that career field through his classes and his work at the ChattState radio station, the WAWL ("the Wall"). In this episode, he talks about coming back to college after spending time working in warehouses -- and realizing he wanted to do something more interesting and fulfilling with his life. He also shares the experience of working at the on-campus Print Shop and getting assistance from the Tiger Cupboard his first couple of weeks on campus.
