The Vision Media staff for Spring 2024 semester

Editors

Editor In Chief

Jaycee Stone

Hey guys. My name is Jaycee Stone, I’m currently a junior digital media major at NGU, but I’m originally from Swansea, South Carolina. This is officially my second year working for The Vision and I am so excited to lead my friends as the Editor-in-Chief (EIC). It has been such an honor and a privilege to be a part of this team. More about me, I love watching movies, reading books and listening to music. I absolutely love going to Tree House Cafe to get coffee and I love sunsets/sunrises. My favorite season is Fall because I love the color changing leaves and the cool weather. I can’t wait to see what the Lord has in store for me and for The Vision staff. 

Managing Editor

Savannah Williamson

Hello there. My name is Savannah Williamson, and I’m from Walhalla, South Carolina. I’m a Junior and the Managing Editor for this semester’s Vision Media staff. My major is Digital Media, with a focus in Journalism. I’m most excited for being able to showcase how cool North Greenville University is and how the people here are really the best around. Some of my hobbies include costume design and costume creation, anything Star Wars, (Insert various space battles here, maybe a few Jedi and epic music) and Improv (I’ve been making people laugh since 2003, just now I do it for fun). While on the NGU Vision Media staff, I’m hoping to take away a sense of camaraderie and a sense of family from this group. I have a feeling it’s going to be a great year.

News and Feature Editor

C.J. Eldridge

Hey, whoever’s reading this. My name is C.J. Eldridge, and I’m a junior studying digital media here at NGU. Born and raised in the Blue Ridge area, I couldn’t have asked for a better place to grow up. I’m the Vision Media’s news and features editor, and I feel so blessed to be here; getting to learn new things through interviews and going to events is the cherry on top of doing what I love—which is writing. Fun fact: I’ve been writing fiction for six years now. I published my first book a couple years ago through Amazon, titled “Fantastical Tales from Faraway Places.” When I’m not at school, you can find me pumping iron at Gold’s Gym, kickboxing, indulging in the perfect art form that is, film and doing crazy stuff with my friends.

Visual Arts Editor

Caroline McNeely

Hi friends. My name is Caroline McNeely, and I am a senior digital media journalism major at North Greenville University. I am originally from Spartanburg, South Carolina. This year I have the privilege to oversee photography and graphics as the Visual Arts Editor on The Vision. I am expectant of what God can do through the stories we will tell through The Vision, and my hope is that it inspires our readers all the same. There is something about taking a seemingly mundane story and enhancing the inspiration and beauty that was already there. The thing I love most about that is God does that for my own life story and takes the mundane and turns it into something beautiful. Aside from writing and photography, I love spending quality time with people in my life and discovering hole-in-the-wall coffee shops, restaurants or small towns. 

Sports Editor

Casey Burton

Hello everyone, it’s me hi…

My name is Casey Burton, and I’m a senior here at North Greenville University. My major is digital media and I enjoy the art of writing. I am from the small of Piedmont, South Carolina. All throughout my childhood and young adult life, I have been a cheerleader. I currently cheer here at North Greenville and serve as cheer captain for both, the sideline and competition team. I have a huge passion for sports. This passion has led me to take on the role of Sports Editor for The Vision. I am so excited to be involved in the community, while keeping others involved. Some fun facts about me are that I’m a die-hard Taylor Swift fan, I love reading, and my favorite sport (to watch, not play) is basketball. I can’t wait to see where God takes me in the near future as I approach graduation in the Spring. 

Social Media Coordinator

Seth Atkins

Hello to awesome readers of the web.  My name is Seth Atkins, and I am a junior digital media major here at North Greenville University. I am from the great small town of Inman, South Carolina. This is my third year on The NGU Vision staff, and I am so grateful to take on the role of Social Media Coordinator. Through our social media pages, I hope to engage audiences with our journalism content and present the Vision Media family. What I love about The Vision staff is that we get to tell the stories of our NGU family. We strive to grow in the art of journalism by infusing magic with the craft. Alongside journalism, I enjoy telling stories through my other passions such as photography and performing on stage with theatre. I love talking to others and hanging out at local coffee shops. I can’t wait to see what God has in store for us as a staff and storytellers. See you in the bylines.

Writers, Graphic Artists and Photographers

Jesús Arce

Hey, my name is Jesús Arce, I am from Venezuela. I am majoring in broadcasting journalism and the reason why I decided to dedicate myself to that field,  is because as a journalist you have the opportunity to be the voice of people who do not have it, that undoubtedly has significant results when it comes to impacting people’s lives. I have experience writing for other schools and with audiovisual works.

This is my first year being a part of The Vision and I am excited to see how the Lord is going to use my gifts to tell your stories through photography and digital creations.

Adviser

Karyn Campbell

I love working with the talented photographers, writers and graphic designers on the Vision staff as I watch them develop their skills and gifts.  It is wonderful to see them grow as creators through the work they produce for The Vision.  In fact, the Vision staff have consistently garnered awards for their work through both state and national organizations and I can’t wait to see how they are recognized this year. I have been the Vision’s adviser since its inception in 2014 and I hope to continue for many years to come.  If you are interested in joining us on this exciting website, shoot me an email: kcampbell@ngu.edu
