A huge congratulations to C-SPAN’s Jeremy Art.

Imagine having dinner with reporters from The Washington Post, bumping into Arianna Huffington on the way to the same party, or touring the country in a C-SPAN bus. Those activities are just part of normal daily life for Jeremy Art, who will soon be honored as this year’s Outstanding Alumnus from the Morrison School of Agribusiness and Resource Management at the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University.

Art, a digital and social media specialist for the politically-focused cable network C-SPAN, has always loved politics.

Art has always had a passion for politics and tells future graduates to follow their dreams, too. He advises them to always keep an open mind.

“I never like getting the question about where you see yourself in five years,” he says. “It’s good to have an answer, but don’t be stuck on it. If a new opportunity arises, don’t discount it because you didn’t see it coming. I started out as a golf major, then switched to agribusiness, and now, I’m a great part of the political process.”

Jeremy, don’t forget the little people.
