The Lifeline of a Town
When encountered with a new city, where is a main location that generally people tend to go? This question is generally a downtown. That is where shops, restaurants, and night life tend to live in any city. For Laramie, Wyoming, this is no exception. The downtown of Laramie is a hub of restaurants, bars and… Read more

The Perfect Picture Is Easy If You’re A Professional Photographer (Unlike Me)
I would like to begin today’s blog with by stating how much harder it is to take photos that I originally thought. Not only, did I feel like a complete goof taking pictures of plants and the world around me, I also got poked by a cactus trying to take a cool picture. This experience… Read more

A Bit of What I Do
Resident Assistant
I am currently a Resident Assistant, or RA for short, in Downey Hall for this year. Last year I was an RA in Orr and even though the job can be a little crazy at times, I love helping all the incoming first year students.
Club Triathlon Team
I am apart of the Club Triathlon Team here at UW. I love spending time with my teammates and an added bonus, I get to have a reason to go work out and stay in shape.
SLCE Advisory Board
I serve on the SLCE Advisory Board, SLAB for short, for UW. I get the opportunity to create volunteering events for students at UW and it’s a great way for me to give back to campus.
About Me
Hello Everyone!
My name is Lorenzo Scalise and I am from Loveland, Colorado. I am currently studying Communication at the University of Wyoming. I am from a family of eight with two dogs and a cat.
I love pasta and bread. I don’t know how else to say how much I love those two things….just trust me, I really really like them. Other than pasta and bread, I love to travel. To be a little more specific, I love to travel to Mexico and Italy. Which is convenient because I have family from both of those countries.
I am starting this blog in the hope of furthering my media career and growing my knowledge of media production through this blog. I’ll make a few mistakes but like a good neighbor, spellcheck is there!
Career Goals
I would like to eventually work at some level in a city. I think it would be awesome to learn about what public relations entails at the city level. I have thought about going to graduate school for city planning so knowing how to deal with the online media would be very beneficial.
