JOURNALISM STUDENT ADVISORY COUNCIL

The Council is led by a president who sets the agendas of what goals to address and accomplish at each meeting throughout the semester. Students are encouraged to attend and participate at these meetings in order to have their voices heard. If students wish to speak about a particular issue at a meeting, please send the Council secretary an e-mail to be added onto the agenda. The 2008 Council Secretary Renee Pepe can be reached at peper@email.arizona.edu.

Some of the issues that the council has addressed in the past years include the Academic Program Fee, the Harelson Excellence in Teaching Award, and the senior exit survey.

Our goals this semester include increasing the student participation, working with the faculty, deciding the allocation of the funds raised by the academic program free and many others. We look forward to hearing what everyone has to say about our goals, the department, and the overall educational experience offered by our department.

Membership to the council is free and open to any student registered in the Department of Journalism. Meetings for the Spring 2008 semester are scheduled for every other Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. in the Marshall Building Rm. 340, the North Seminar Room.

A new initiative JSAC is launching this year is a professional shadowing program dubbed the Press Cats Shadows Program. Read about it here.
