How does one get on the invite list?
ReplyDeleteMost of the seats are probably reserved for current students and faculty, which is why its being shown on FAMCast. But the J-School would have all the specifics: (850) 599-3379.
ReplyDeleteGotta love the J-School for being able to bring in such talent. They're definitely one of the overlooked gems on campus.
ReplyDeleteCan't really say that the J-School is overlooked when they control the campus media, FAMUAN, WANM, and TV-20 !!!
ReplyDeleteThey ARE the ones who have relationships with state and national media organizations, so if they are overlooked shame on them !
@10:54 I think 2:09 was talking about being overlooked by the ADMINISTRATION which I tend to agree with. It's obvious they're not overlooked by their fellow journalists. But when was the last time you saw the J-School promoted on anything FAMU related. The administration focuses on SBI and Pharmacy but never says a thing about the J-school, which is considered one of the top journalism programs in the country.
ReplyDeleteIf you looked at the FAMUAN or TV-20 you'd over look the FAMU J-School too !!!
