Kevin Meagher
Hello world. My name is Kevin Meagher and I am a senior print journalism major at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I have lived in the city most of my life and I love our sports teams like a family member. My first two years of college I attended DePaul University in Chicago and studied psychology. Although I enjoy psychology, I knew I did not want to make a profession out of it. I needed a change. I took a semester off, transferred to UWM, and switched my major to journalism. I love writing and I love learning. Journalism allows me to do both. I have done two internships in my final semesters at UWM; one at Senator Herb Kohl's office, and the other at Mayor Tom Barrett's office. In my opinion, Milwaukee is the hidden gem of the Midwest and there are stories like the UCC gym everywhere. This project was a pleasure to work on and I cannot thank the people who helped me enough.
