Wade Sullivan is a senior majoring in multimedia journalism. Wade is from Parkersburg, West Virginia, where he was inducted into the Quill and Scroll International Honor Society for High School Journalists for his work in the Parkersburg High School Journalism Department. He was a student reporter for The Parthenon from September 2023-August 2024, when he took the position of photo editor. Wade wants his work to highlight the skills that he has learned during his time with The Parthenon and the wonderful journalists that he works with. He has also done some work for The Herald Dispatch from June 2024-December 2024 as a freelance photographer. After he graduates, Wade wants to be a photographer for a local newspaper and eventually become the photo editor of a major publication one day.
