    About Our StaJennier GrodJennier Grod had to travel over a couple o bridges to get to Hostra University rom her hometown o Union, New Jersey. She loves to c

    a glimpse o the New York City lights on her drive. Jennier cannot believe that she will be entering her senior year as she nishes her deg

    in broadcast journalism, with minors in theater and political science. Around campus, you can nd this Jersey girl producing and anchorin

    she will be interning at WABC in the investigative unit. She is hoping to snag one more internship beore she leaves Hostra. In her ree t

    the entire student body. In her ree time, Elysha LOVES to bake! As a child, she would spend her Saturdays baking way too many batches

    cookies and cupcakes and selling these treats at the end o her driveway to neighbors and passersby. She also loves the company o rien

    amily, a good movie, and traveling the world.
