Casting call for WVU marketing and communications projects

You’ve made the dean’s list, successfully navigated the PRT, taken your picture with the Mountaineer statue…looking for something else to make your WVU career complete? How about starring in a commercial—OR—having YOUR face on a WVU billboard!

Throughout the year, WVU develops many exciting marketing and communications projects— videos, slide shows and photo galleries, commercials, print and web publications. No matter where you are in your journey at WVU (from freshman to graduate/professional student), we hope you will participate! We especially encourage students from all racial, ethnic and cultural backgrounds to help us showcase the diversity of our campus (all 55 WV counties, all 50 states, and over 100 countries!) A variety of students will be chosen to create a WVU talent pool for various projects. You are representing yourself! We encourage you to come as you are and tell about your unique WVU experiences.

Join us on Thursday, July 29th, any time between 10 a.m.-3 p.m. in the lobby of the Mountainlair (between the Information Desk and Hatfield’s). We’ll be the ones with the cameras!

Students will be interviewed and asked a series of questions. Questions will cover topics such as the overall WVU experience, academic endeavors, professional goals, student life on- and off-campus, how WVU impacts and changes lives, relationships built over time at WVU – friends, family, mentors, professors, significant others, alumni interaction, etc. Basically, these are questions to help us understand your story! Please think about these topics beforehand.
