Students from the Holcad and Lion's Live crews attending the annual media and communication conference known as JDay (Journalism Day) at Ball State University on Friday, April 25th. Students attended a wide range of workshops throughout the day led by professionals in the industry. Topics included Live TV Reporting & Anchoring, Doing Great Sports Play-by-Play, How Women are Shaping the Future of Motorsports Journalism, Social Media and the News, What's in a Brand and Traveling the World and Telling Great Stories, just to name a few. The Keynote Speaker was Jennifer Prandato, Art Director of NBC Today Digital who had a great presentation on transferring from print to digital media, as well as what it's like to feel Imposter Syndrome in a constantly evolving field. Students all agreed that the workshops were very interesting and are excited to go back next year. They had their photo taken with Charlie Cardinal...Chirp Chirp!

What a treat! We got escorted into Rushville in style! Honoring Diane Personett one of our Varsity Scholars sponsors! Diane has been co sponsor with Julie Wainwright for the last 18 years and total has been the sponsor for about 23 total years! She is retiring this year, but we will luckily have her back part time next year. I imagine this will not be her last trip to Florida anytime soon!
