Newhouse LA Student Spotlight: Dalton Deitz

Living in Syracuse, moving into college has always been nothing more than a 20-minute drive for me, so flying across the country for this semester was nerve-wracking. But the vibrant atmosphere and friendly people immediately made me feel welcome here in LA. My days quickly filled up with exciting experiences, from navigating the Metro to my internship at TREND: Music PR, to exploring iconic spots like Universal Studios, Dodger Stadium and even camping in Joshua Tree!

One of the highlights has been a Q&A session with the senior staff at TREND, where I gained invaluable insights about the music industry. I also had the chance to attend a Fredagain.. concert at the LA Memorial Coliseum, which was an electrifying experience. Balancing my classes and internship has been challenging yet rewarding, especially with supportive professors and peers. Days spent at Santa Monica Beach and Warner Bros. Studios with fellow students were moments of community that I’ll cherish forever.

My time here has been a whirlwind of learning, growth and fun, and I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities and friendships I’ve made. I’m excited to see what the rest of my LA journey holds!
