Surprising People | 2018
Ed Bonfiglio, Ian Hemann, Jake Cimbalista, Adam Middlesworth and Adam Seiff look right at home at Penn State. We see them immersed in daily activities like studying computer science, rehabilitation services or forest ecosystem management; or working out at the gym, or reading for class. But there's a lot more to their lives than first meets the eye.

Eric Firestine
Senior / Photojournalism
I have done work for The Daily Collegian, and The Curley Center. I hope to work for Sports Illustrated, other sports media outlets, or for a professional team or player taking pictures of their games or lives as athletes. Other interests of mine include concert photography, automotive photography, and lifestyle or freelance work.
Morgan Seiff
Sophomore / Film
Morgan Seiff is a sophomore pursuing a Film degree, with minors in English and Jewish Studies. Her interests include screenwriting and directing. Last summer, Morgan traveled to Krakow, Poland, and Tel Akko, Israel, to capture footage for two in-the-works documentaries about Judaism, history, and archaeology. After graduation, Morgan would like to write and direct narrative films that explore identity and adolescence. Currently, Morgan interns as a production assistant at Palinka Pictures and creates video content for the Underground Student Media. She also serves as the production leader for Kalliope, Penn State’s Literary and Arts Magazine.
Kaylee Corl
Senior / Broadcast Journalism
My career goals are to either be an on-air personality on a radio/television show or to become a famous musician and share my music with the world. I am currently interning at the B94.5 radio station and am excited to expand my skills for my journalism major.
Liam Matthews
Senior / Digital and Print Journalism
After graduating, I want to have a successful career in some type of sports communication. I know my major is digital and print journalism, but I believe graduating with a communications degree will open more doors for me than strictly being a writer. On campus, I’ve had stints with both Comm Radio and the Daily Collegian, while also interning for the Pottstown Mercury (my local newspaper) this summer. My dream job is to work for some type of Philadelphia sports team, preferably in their communications or digital media department.
