The RWC Electronic Media Communications Program will hold its annual end of the year picnic, dubbed “The Rite of Spring,” on Saturday, May 17, from 1-5 p.m., rain or shine. Stop by the Electronic Media Program office in Muntz 217 for location and directions. Hosted by the faculty and staff of the Electronic Media Communications Program, all Electronic Media students, faculty, staff and alumni are invited with guests. End of the year department awards will be presented in a variety of categories, and door prizes will be awarded throughout the day.
Business professionals will be invited to attend, and, as Program Coordinator Lou Olenick stated, “It’s a great way to network with people working in the electronic media business field.” Lou also pointed out that “the picnic gives opportunities for first year students to meet alumni for mentoring possibilities,” noting past students who have obtained job opportunities through mingling with alumni and professionals at the event.
Be sure to bring your appetites. The hosts will provide grills, charcoal, water, soft drinks, ice, paper products, and utensils. Guests are to provide their own meat for grilling or their favorite vegetarian alternative. In addition, everyone is encouraged to bring a side dish or dessert to share.
Flyers are available in the Electronic Media office. Attendees are asked to RSVP by calling 745-5717 or by email to Lou.Olenick@uc.edu.
