Brandy Isom
Bachelor of Arts in Journalism

When Isom came to CSUN in 1996 from the small Antelope Valley town of Littlerock, she needed four remedial courses--the most available--to overcome deficiencies in her education. But the 21-year-old Canoga Park resident persevered, and by attending summer school every year, managed to graduate in four years.

Along the way, she won two scholarships from the university’s Journalism Department and a prestigious Freedom Forum internship at Minnesota National Public radio. She also was active in the Black Student Union and worked with Associated Students. She also inspired her younger sister Stephanie to attend CSUN.
