This year, WVU PRSSA is giving back to the Monongalia County Community in a few ways, and we’re asking for your help!

Book Fair
Thinking of buying some books as gifts this holiday? Barnes & Noble at the University Town Center is holding a book fair on Saturday, December 10, to benefit Morgantown Early Learning Facility (ELF). This book drive gives you multiple opportunities to donate!

All SOJ equipment must be returned to Katelyn Mattingly this week. Those who fail to return equipment by this date, will receive an Incomplete until the equipment is returned or paid for.

During Finals week, Mattingly will be in Martin Hall room G2, each day from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

January through late April – Interviewing Now

If you have a love for sports and entertainment and have aspirations to one day work in this industry, then Burns Entertainment & Sports Marketing, Inc. is the internship for you!

In a collaborative effort with WVU computer science students, School of Journalism faculty and students have been developing an interactive TouchTable as part of the “Soldiers of the Coalfields” interactive memorial project in Kimball, W.Va. Visual journalism students have gathered content for the interactive display and created a database narrative mind node map and storyboard for the TouchTable.

As part of their senior exhibition, two computer science seniors displayed their work on the TouchTable last week in the atrium of the new addition to the WVU’s Engineering Sciences building. The TouchTable features interactive narratives based around the book, “War Poems,” written by two young sisters from the WV Negro Collegiate Institute (WV State) in 1918.
