Spotlight on Omar Sofradzija

From his birth in 1969 until now, Omar Sofradzija has lived and worked a few places. He started in Illinois, went to Las Vegas, and ended up in Haslett/East Lansing. He has been a reporter, editor, columnist, teacher, and adviser.

As far as Michigan State University and The State News goes, Sofradzija said he is very happy.

"This was the perfect career transition for me," he said.

He said he currently gives advice on good journalism habits, business and legal issues, career options, and alumni and relations.

He said prefers his job at The State News, and he never saw himself as a teacher because he was a loud and rowdy student himself.  However, he does like seeing people get better.

His best advice?

"If your mother says she loves you, check it out," he said.
