Hello and a gracious welcome to my student portfolio.  My name is Marc Arulfo and I am currently a third year student at Monmouth College as an Art/Communication and Theater Arts (CATA) double major.  I am a graduate of Lincoln Community High School, in Lincoln, IL, and would like to pursue a career in advertising media or international/intercultural communication studies.

 (Please Note:  I apologize sincerely for my lack of a picture!  This will be fixed soon.)

Here on my website, you will find many pages which exemplify my work and studies while at Monmouth College.  Of these things, you may find:

•  Internship details

•  Objectives originally set by the Communications Department, now or soon-to-be accomplished.

•  My personal work resume, which gives a good glimpse at my abilities and experience in communication or media.

•   My personal and professional goals in life to help me succeed.

   More About Me:

In addition to being a double major, I am also a Resident Assistant, and have recently discovered a newfound passion for interpersonal communication and relations.  I feel that there is something so rewarding in being an R.A., that one may be able to change a life for the better, while helping to further make dormitories and residence halls safe environments for students.

One other passion of mine lies in technology.  Software and video gaming have always been a hobby of mine, and there are times when my affinity towards the technological have actually helped me in tough situations.  By having a basic understanding of hardware and technology, I can possibly use my skills to become a more efficient worker, or at least instruct others on how to be that way.

My recent trip to Japan in the spring break of 2007 was indeed a life-changing experience.  Because of the culture shock, and my innate fascination towards intercultural studies, I have become increasingly curious to internationally-based communication studies.  Perhaps someday, I may be able to find the missing link in intercultural communication, and better soften the blow of that same culture shock abroad fellows may undergo.
