            Crystal Davis, senior,  is majoring in Radio Television with an emphasis in production. Davis was born in St. Louis, Missouri, but moved to Missouri City, Texas when her parents found better jobs when she was a little over a year old. Davis is very involved with several different organizations on campus and will graduate in May 2013.

            Davis is half Cherokee half Mulatto and the oldest out of four siblings. She has two sisters 18 and 9, and a younger brother, 15. Davis broke her wrist in the second grade, “a girl was rocking in her chair and fell over and crushed my wrist!” Her family is very large as her grandpa and grandma have a combined over 20 brothers and sisters. Davis can play many composers such as Beethoven on the piano and favorite movies are “The Notebook” and “A Walk To Remember.”.  Davis stays very busy, as she is involved in many organizations on and off campus. Starting in high school, Davis was an intern at a local station called Missouri City TV for two years where she was a producer and a videographer. She also was a standout athlete in track and cross-country before she decided to focus more on school. After high school she was accepted to S.F.A.S.U. and joined Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated, which is an international sorority that has over 260,000 members and prides itself on building leadership and helping solve world issues. Davis is the Vice President of the United Way on S.F.A.S.U. campus and is “working on a public relations campaign across Nacogdoches County.” Davis is also the Vice President of the National Broadcast Society on the S.F.A.S.U. campus, her main task as Vice President is to talk to distinguished alumni about coming to campus and speaking to the students in N.B.S. They also travel to premiere cities to attend conferences, “We traveled to Los Angeles and went to a conference and a workshop and did some sight-seeing as well. We also went to New York City and I met Vanessa Marano, an NBC actress.” Davis said her favorite place to visit was Los Angeles because of the beach and beautiful weather there.  Davis works as a student assistant in the agriculture department and made the deans list last fall in the radio television department. This summer was especially busy for Davis as she held three jobs and attended summer classes
