Alena Thomas

Alena Thomas is a student at SUNY Oswego majoring in Broadcast and Mass Communications. She is originally from a small town called Forestville, where she first discovered her passion for broadcasting. Her interest began in high school when she participated in morning announcements and served as a commentary host for her school’s Esports team. Those early experiences helped shape her desire to pursue a career in media and communication.

Since coming to Oswego, Alena has continued to build her skills in the field and was just appointed as a reporter for SUNY Oswego’s WTOP. In this new role, she is beginning to gain hands-on experience in storytelling, reporting, and working in a professional broadcast environment.

Outside of broadcasting, Alena is highly involved on campus. She serves as the vice president of an organization called Two and a Half, a Sexual Assault Awareness organization dedicated to advocating for survivors who may not feel comfortable sharing their experiences and educating others on the issue. In addition to her advocacy work, Alena is also a member of the club rugby team, where she values teamwork, discipline, and leadership.
