Spartan Named White House Deputy Press Secretary

Livonia, Michigan native and Michigan State University School of Journalism alumnus Chris Meagher is the White House Deputy Press Secretary.

Meagher describes the exhilaration and excitement of working in the heartbeat of the new administration.

“There's really nothing quite like it. You get carried away in the midst of your job and what you're doing and the tasks that you have to accomplish. And then you look out the window and you see the front of the White House and you're like, ‘Wow.’ Just what an honor to be here and working hard to get things done.”
