Broadcast Communications Majors to Showcase Capstone Projects
Ten Westminster College senior broadcast communications majors will showcase their capstone projects Tuesday, April 25, from 5:30-9 p.m. in various areas of the McKelvey Campus Center.
The final component of Liberal Studies at Westminster is a senior capstone course, which is at least a four-semester-hour course within the major designed to provide an opportunity for students to evaluate and assess the strengths and limitations of their major field.
"I will showcase all that I have accomplished over my four years as a broadcast communications student at Westminster College," said Alana Schuring from Sewickley. "It will also show how my major and liberal art studies have provided me with unlimited options and enough hands-on experience for any career choice."
"My capstone presentation will highlight my radio news and writing experiences," said Amanda Hauger from Greensburg. "I will discuss my internship at Views and Voices magazine, my radio news resume tape, and showcase a television package."
"I will discuss my journey through internships at WQED-FM (Pittsburgh) and WKBN TV (Youngstown) in addition to my first jobs with Star 100.7 (Pittsburgh) and Star 104 (Erie)," said Heather Storm from Wexford. "The presentation will stress the importance of my first on-air job at Star 104 and where I hope to go with radio in my future."
"My presentation is about my growth pertaining to broadcasting and all the different paths I experienced and really clicked with throughout the four years of my college career," said Shannon McClain from Saxonburg. "I will also talk about where I plan to go from here."
"My presentation is all I've done here at Westminster in broadcast communications," said Justin Egley from Evans City. "I'm actually an arts technology major with a minor in broadcast communications. I got into this program when I started doing the graphics for our television station. I'm going to show a commercial I've shot, work that was aired while I was the sports anchor for County Line, and a music video that I've shot. I've purchased two professional cameras and plan on starting my own business once I graduate."
