Integrated Media Corps is a new co-curricular initiative with the goal of providing opportunities for students to gain hands-on media productions experience.  Junior and senior students from any major are eligible for the program.

Students will be working with Wittenberg’s Department of Communication and The Office of University Communications to provide multi-media experiences with The Tiger Sports Network, work with internet productions and many other opportunities.

 “We’re trying to give students the ability to see the opportunities out there in the media field,” said Matthew J. Smith, Associate Professor of Communication and academic advisor for the Integrated Media Corps.

Current Integrated Media Corps students have had the opportunity to meet with the sportscasters from WDTN-TV, radio station managers and media sales specialists from the region to learn about the career opportunities in the media field.

Integrated Media Corps students are paid for their work, up to ten hours per week. Students are also required to attend a weekly staff meeting to talk about assignments.

Students interested in learning more about Integrated Media Corps are encouraged to attend an open house on Feb. 8 at 11:30 a.m. in Hollenbeck Hall room 336. Applications will be available soon for students interested in the program.
