Ooooomar

Who is this guy?????


I know your probably wondering who's this goofy looking guy in the blue.

Omar Sofradzija is a journalism 200 instructor at Michigan State. Born on February 18, from Chicago, blah blah blah but there's so much more to him.

Omar is a bubbly, caring, and hands on instructor. He originally envisioned himself as a "big city news columnist" and started his writing career at The Peoria Journalstar in Illinois.


After working close to home for awhile Omar decided to venture off. He moved to Las Vegas and started working at the Las Vegas Review Journal.

This is where he began his most memorable work; covering the Hurricane Katrina crisis was one of the most memorable experiences of his career. Omar was dropped off in the middle of the turmoil and left to find a story.

But after five years life in Las Vegas began to seem routine, Omar began to feel burnt out and in need of change.

Omar seen an ad in the paper saying MSU was looking for instructors, he decided to throw his hat in the ring and the rest became history.

The goofy guy in the photo is now a very well rounded educator, editorial adviser at the State News, and Vice President of the Michigan Collegiate Press Association.
