Behind The Scenes in Long Beach, California

story by Gunner Stuns, photography by Keaton Weyers & Tyler Diltz, design by Zoey Ryan

This past March, PULSE was invited to attend the Associate Collegiate Press Conference in Long Beach, California. Myself, Editor-In-Cheif Gunner Stuns, Creative Director Zoey Ryan and Directors of Photography Keaton Weyers and Tyler Diltz, journeyed to and through SeaTac airport then disembarked our plane in LAX. Unfortunately, the Seattle weather followed us and we were harrowed by rain showers as we desperately searched for our Lyft driver.

From there, it was all smooth sailing.

I speak for each of us when I say the experience was equal parts informative and fun. While it was rare all four of us attended the same panels, we all spoke with professionals in the field of Media & Journalism, took notes and walked away with new ideas and perspectives on how to make PULSE even stronger. We also got to experience some of Long Beach, hitting the sands, exploring downtown and trying some delicious food. The opportunity to travel, learn and bond with my team is not something I will soon forget.

Until next time, Long Beach.
