2 minutes with: Sko Buffs Sports
ÌýÌýStudent organizations are great ways to get hands-on experience. And being a member of Sko Buffs Sports takes students onto the sidelines of some of our favorite games on campus. We spent two minutes with Harrison Simeon (Jour'26), the club’s former associate producer, to learn about the club. His time with Sko Buffs set him up well to be the sports editor at Enterprise Journal in McMcomb, Miss.
