Our first interest meeting of the semester is in the books 🎙️🎥

Last Tuesday, new and returning students joined faculty and staff at Sallee Hall to meet each other, talk about what they’re interested in, and start making connections across broadcasting and journalism.

If you couldn’t make it, no worries. Catch us on the third floor, ask around, and we’ll help point you in the right direction. The sooner you get involved, the sooner you can start getting real reps and building your portfolio.

See you around Sallee 👋

The rain stopped and the sun came out. We had a great production led by our students in the trailer while faculty and staff announced and ran cameras. The school year is around the corner and we had a good start to the fall production season.
See you soon!!
