Andy Sedlak is a reporter for WHIO and a 2010 graduate of the Department of Communication at Wright State University, who credits the hands-on experience he gained at WSU for preparing him for his career.
Sedlak developed a love for writing in high school and once he arrived at Wright State he began working as a deejay at WWSU 106.9 FM, he worked at the radio station and for the Guardian
“I began working at WWSU and I was hooked,” Sedlak said. “There was no going back.”
He encourages students to get as much experience as they can.
“The more diverse the better,” said Sedlak. “Hands-on experience is what counts, get it!”
One of his most memorable moments at WSU is when he had the opportunity to interview two members of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street band, one of them being Clarence Clemons.
“Those are memories I’ll take wherever I go.”
“Ironically I had the least amount of experience in TV and that’s where I currently work,” said Sedlak.
He credits many professors for their contributions to his education.
“I had a lot of good professors,” Sedlak said.
“I had a great time at Wright State, I wouldn’t take back a single second.”
