All of us in the Communications Program and Department of English and Communications are so proud of December 2022 graduate Sydaija "Syd" Smalls who did not waste time gaining a great job! She is a news reporter/multimedia reporter at Charleston's WCIV-TV.
Syd can also be seen on the Fox 24 7 p.m. newscast in Charleston.
Syd took the big walk across the stage at SMH on Dec. 16. That semester she had an internship at the Charleston station. News Director Cathy Hobbs was so impressed with the Goose Creek High School graduate (and now SC State grad) that by early 2023 she offered her a job.
Before coming to Orangeburg, Syd studied broadcasting and other media at Trident Technical College. At SC State she quickly became a mainstay at Bulldog News Now (BNN) as an anchor and reporter.
Syd graduated with top academic honors and is also an excellent role model for current and prospective students in how hard work and determination can pay off! And the value of having a high-quality internship where you impress the professionals there is important too.
In fine fashion, Syd always represented SC State, BNN, the Communications Club, and our program.
In September 2022, Syd and Midrina Tucker (below) covered U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris' visit to Columbia.
Go Syd! Bulldog Nation is howling with joy and pride!
