Making Friends

I had the wonderful opportunity to meet with Taylor Dungjen and Elissa Sonnenberg today in Cincinnati.

Taylor is the president of the University of Cincinnati SPJ chapter and Elissa is the organization's faculty adviser.

We discussed membership challenges and programming opportunities in our chapters as well as the state of the media and business in general.

As we prepare for the 100th Anniversary of the Society of Professional Journalists and the Region 4 conference in Columbus in April, it was nice to meet other involved students and faculty. Especially following the news from publishers across the country last week, networking is becoming more important than ever before.

Be on the lookout - OU SPJ has made some new friends and maybe, just maybe, we'll be seeing more of them over the next few months too ;)

As a reminder, dues need to be paid by December 31. Be on the lookout - we'll be sending members emails over the next week or so about the exciting new projects and schedules for Winter Quarter!
