Hunter Sheafer, a junior studying music education and the president of OUTS, has been playing the trombone since his junior year of high school. Sheafer decided to join the trombone society because he believed it was an opportunity to network with other passionate musicians.

Grace Abroad: UK underestimates opportunities in journalism | |
Grace Koennecke | March 20, 2024 | |
One of the biggest culture shocks for me since moving to the U.K. is the university's approach to journalism coursework compared to the U.S. Unlike the rigorous, hands-on environment created back home, Swansea University uses a more laid-back teaching style, paired with fewer assignments and fieldwork to allow students to explore the major on their own terms.
