Save the Date! Scripps Senior Saturday to be held Jan. 31

The annual Scripps Senior Saturday will be held from 9:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 31, 2009, in Scripps Hall. While details are still being finalized, seniors are encouraged to mark the date on their calendars. Sponsored by the Scripps Society of Alumni & Friends, this free event is held each year to help prepare graduating journalism students for their job searches. Seniors receive resume critiques and advice on their portfolios, cover letters, job hunting strategies, and more. Last year’s event drew 109 graduating seniors, the most ever!

There are also panels for the different sequences (i.e. public relations, magazine, news writing, advertising), for students to connect with professionals and alumni in their fields. We are currently looking for panelists. The event organizers are also looking for a keynoter to cover basic information on resumes, cover letters, interviewing and negotiating that would be applicable across sequences. If you would be willing to be a panelist or keynoter, or would like more information on this event, please contact Stephanie Pavol at spavol@lesiccamper.com or (614) 220-8659.
