Nolan Behnke

News Intern
  • Nolan

My name is Nolan Behnke, I'm a Journalism major, at the University of Wyoming. I am in my third year at the University. I have taken a variety of classes at the University, but this is my first internship. I wanted to intern at WPR because I enjoy radio to an extent and what goes into producing it. I also thought it would be a great place to discover how to write news well and get a sense of how it affects the world around me. I plan on pursuing some career in journalism when I receive my degree. I would love to work with film in the future. I have a blog with some of my work called Nolan's Corner on Wordpress. I have participated in the Western Thunder Marching Band. I am apart of the 7220 entertainment films committee. Some of my interests include movies, television, video games, books, music, and others.
