Hey! I'm Kristin Kennedy, and I'm a news editor and social media coordinator for The Horizon! This is my third semester with this news organization. I’m a full-time journalism senior, and I have two internships. I’m the writing assistant in the IU Southeast Office of University Communications, and I’m the communications and administration intern at the Harrison County Community Foundation. My schedule is packed, but The Horizon is one of my top priorities. As social media coordinator, I want to improve The Horizon's social media presence. If you have suggestions regarding this, reach out to us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, or e-mail me at krikenne@umail.iu.edu. Also, follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and Snapchat! Meanwhile, e-mail me if you have any news for us that should be covered!
