Students traveled to the YMCA Aquatic Center to interview championship swimmer Kaitlyn Whalen and held a press conference with Devin Washington, one of Central Florida\u2019s top prep football players. A story written by two students in the class about Washington\u2019s experience of being bullied as a youngster was featured on the front page of the Orlando Sentinel sports section \u2013 both online and in print.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/communication.cos.ucf.edu\/include\/file\/articles\/2012\/OS%20STORY.jpg\">To see a portion of the story, click here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a first for Camp Orlando,\u2019\u2019 said Missy Green of Walsworth. \u201cWe\u2019ve never had a story from the camp picked up by local media.
