Drop-in hours are a great time to review a draft or cover any questions you may have about what you should write. You can also make appointments with me, or Evan (my graduate assistant who works with Grady College students).
Save the Date: 2018 Journalism and Mass Communication Career Day
Thursday, Feb. 8
Events from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Mark your calendar for the 2018 Journalism and Mass Communication Career Day! This day-long event connects companies and organizations with students seeking careers in digital, print and broadcast journalism, creative mass media, media sales, advertising and public relations. Internships and full-time positions will be available. The day will include two career panel events, a networking luncheon and a career fair. Be on the lookout for preparation events leading up to the event at the start of spring semester.
This is a great event for Intended-Grady and recently admitted Grady students to attend to learn more about the industry and meet professionals in the kinds of roles they want in the future.
