[00:00:00.880]Hi, my name is Alisa Smith, and I am the Director of Academic Advising in the College of Journalism
[00:00:07.360]and Mass Communications, known as the CoJMC, at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and
[00:00:13.240]I would like to welcome you to our CoJMC family.
[00:00:16.100]We will be covering topics including requirements, resources, and opportunities available to
[00:00:23.120]you as a student in our college.
[00:00:24.660]So let's get started.
[00:00:26.320]The university's new student enrollment process, known as NSE, consists of two main parts.
[00:00:33.440]Today you are completing Part 1, New Student Orientation.
[00:00:37.900]Keep in mind that you also need to schedule an academic advising appointment.
[00:00:42.420]This is where you will meet with one of the four advisors in our college and register
[00:00:47.540]for your fall classes.
[00:00:48.700]If you haven't booked this appointment yet, we encourage you to get this scheduled as
[00:00:53.360]soon as possible.
[00:00:54.660]While there are more open seats in classes, students in our college will graduate with
[00:01:00.600]a Bachelor of Journalism in one of our four majors, Advertising and Public Relations,
[00:01:06.840]Broadcasting with either a focus in Media Production or News, Journalism, and Sports
[00:01:13.400]Media and Communication.
[00:01:14.580]The Advertising and Public Relations major prepares students for media careers through
[00:01:21.040]Creative Thinking, Brand Storytelling, Strategies.
[00:01:24.580]Communications, and Social Media Management.
[00:01:27.540]You'll gain practical experience creating campaigns, pitching concepts, designing ads,
[00:01:34.500]and managing content before graduation.
[00:01:37.040]The Broadcasting major equips you for the media landscape, whether on-screen or behind
[00:01:44.180]the scenes.
[00:01:44.860]Gain hands-on experience producing live TV newscasts, DJing the campus radio station,
[00:01:51.920]working with Husker Vision, and
[00:01:54.360]entering competitions, all before graduating.
[00:01:57.160]Studying journalism immerses you in diverse storytelling, from local issues to global
[00:02:04.320]multimedia projects, with a commitment to reporting accurately and ethically.
[00:02:09.120]You'll learn to share stories through images and words, leverage social media and reporting,
[00:02:15.300]and produce multimedia content for the web, all while upholding the principles of democracy.
[00:02:21.220]The Sports Media and Communication
[00:02:24.140]major combines a passion for sports with diverse career opportunities in journalism,
[00:02:30.300]broadcasting, digital content creation, public relations, sports marketing, and more.
[00:02:37.980]You'll gain hands-on experience in sports promotion, fan experience, and sports coverage,
[00:02:45.500]while developing skills in writing video production and social media management.
[00:02:51.000]If we look at the big picture,
[00:02:53.920]a student needs at least 120 credit hours to graduate from UNL.
[00:02:58.520]If we look at eight semesters, or four years, and we divide that out,
[00:03:03.660]it means a student needs to take 15 credit hours per semester to reach that 120 credit hour total.
[00:03:10.320]Withdrawing from a course, or not earning the required grade, can alter a student's graduation plan.
[00:03:17.480]In those cases, students can often pick up courses during summer semesters to remain on
[00:03:23.700]track for graduation. Let's break down those 120 credit hours so you have an
[00:03:29.820]idea of what a course plan would look like. 52 of those credit hours are taken
[00:03:35.520]within our major and inside our college. This means that these would be courses
[00:03:40.440]in advertising and public relations, broadcasting, journalism, sports media and
[00:03:46.560]communications, or general college courses called JOMC. The other 68 credit hours
[00:03:53.480]must be taken outside of the College of Journalism and Mass Communications. These
[00:03:58.880]courses would include your ACES, minor courses, world language courses if needed,
[00:04:05.060]and any liberal arts elective courses. Each of our four majors have courses
[00:04:12.960]specific to that degree, but all of them share the same core requirements. Because
[00:04:19.120]there are so many shared core classes, a number of students in the College of
[00:04:23.260]Journalism and Mass Communication decide to double or even triple major inside our college.
[00:04:28.780]If you are interested in this, please make sure to discuss it with your academic advisor.
[00:04:33.900]You will likely register for at least four of these core classes for fall
[00:04:39.180]when you meet with your academic advisor, if not more. These classes are JOMC 100, JOMC 101,
[00:04:50.060]JOMC 130, and JOMC 131. You will take your core courses with students in our college
[00:04:57.500]from all four majors. In the communication design courses, students will start work with camera,
[00:05:03.900]video cameras, and Adobe Creative Suite, which students get free through the college. During
[00:05:12.140]the three levels of experience lab, students will gain experience by working with real clients. Many
[00:05:18.780]of these courses are held in the agency, which is located on the third floor of the Lincoln Children's Museum
[00:05:19.980]The seven options include: Bouy, Heartland Pulse, KRNU - the campus radio station, Nebraska News Service, Nebraska Nightly, Production House, and Unlimited Sports.
[00:05:45.820]Students in any of our majors can sign up for any of the seven agencies. They can work with the same agency for all three levels, or can work with three different ones. It's entirely up to the student
[00:05:49.900]to decide what interests them the most.
[00:05:54.140]Buoy is a student-run agency serving purpose-driven community organizations, and it is a natural fit
[00:06:00.940]for Ad PR majors. Students get to try their hands at many aspects of strategic communication,
[00:06:08.220]including research planning, account management, and creative development. Production House is a
[00:06:14.620]stepping stone to digital media within the College of Journalism and Mass Communications,
[00:06:19.820]providing the knowledge and experience needed to create digital content and develop skills in
[00:06:25.020]lighting, editing, graphics, photography, and video production. Heartland Pulse is a content
[00:06:31.980]marketing project providing hands-on learning opportunities for CoJMC students. The program
[00:06:38.060]is a good fit for students who are interested in gaining skills in community relations,
[00:06:43.260]journalism, and public relations. Nebraska News Service offers a wide range of opportunities
[00:06:49.740]for students to gain hands-on experience in content creation that serves a greater Nebraska
[00:06:55.100]audience. Working with faculty liaisons and professional mentors, students will build their
[00:07:01.100]academic skill set while exploring their professional interests with the possibility of
[00:07:05.980]having their work published at media outlets across the state. Nebraska Nightly is a student-produced
[00:07:13.500]recorded show. Students will work to produce video and audio content for Lincoln and Nebraska
[00:07:19.660]audiences. They host a news program that airs live on Fridays at 4:30. Unlimited Sports is a
[00:07:26.860]student-run media organization that serves as the sports reporting arm of Nebraska News Service.
[00:07:32.540]Students will have the opportunity to be credentialed working media
[00:07:36.780]at a variety of local and area events and games including Husker Athletics,
[00:07:41.980]the Omaha Supernovas, Lincoln Stars, Lincoln Salt Dogs, and other events. 90.3
[00:07:49.580]KRNU is the university's broadcast radio station. It's operated by students, faculty,
[00:07:55.660]and staff in the College of Journalism and Mass Communications. The KRNU experience lab section
[00:08:01.820]offers opportunities for students from any CoJMC major to gain experience in all forms
[00:08:07.660]of audio production and vocal performance for electronic media. Possibilities include live
[00:08:14.060]radio, air shifts, podcast production, web streaming,
[00:08:19.500]entertainment and talk programming, news, sports and public fairs programs and learning
[00:08:26.060]behind the scenes operations of our 24/7 radio station. First we're going to talk about the ACE
[00:08:33.420]requirements. ACE stands for Achievement Centered Education. Students gain a comprehensive education
[00:08:40.780]through ACEs because ACEs expose them to multiple disciplines and teach critical thinking skills
[00:08:47.340]outside of a student's home college.
[00:08:49.420]Each of these ACEs focuses on a key learning outcome and students can select what interests them from a variety of subjects, area, courses under each ACE.
[00:09:01.660]ACE 1 is a written communication class, ACE 2 is oral and visual communication class, and ACE 3 is a math and logic class.
[00:09:12.060]This is the only ACE where we're very specific in what courses our majors can take. Our ACE 3
[00:09:19.340]must be a statistics course because our students use stats in their major classes and sometimes in
[00:09:25.740]their professional careers. ACE 4 is a science class, ACE 5 is a humanities class, and ACE 6 is a
[00:09:33.660]social science class. ACE 7 is an arts class, ACE 8 is an ethical principles class, and ACE 9 is a
[00:09:41.840]global awareness or human diversity class. All ACE classes must be taken outside of the college.
[00:09:49.260]Advisors often work with students to use ACEs to explore courses that they might be interested
[00:09:54.620]in minoring in. As we mentioned previously, all students in the College of Journalism and
[00:10:00.780]Mass Communications must select a minor outside of our college. Typically, a minor is 18 credit
[00:10:07.600]hours in a subject. Some minors are 15 credit hours, but largely they are 18.
[00:10:13.220]Students often ask if there is a minor that makes sense, or maybe ask if
[00:10:19.180]there is a perfect or ideal minor. The answer is no. Students can choose something that they like,
[00:10:25.100]or something that they think will allow them to develop skills in a subject
[00:10:28.740]that will complement the job they would like to have in the future. Students in our college have
[00:10:34.280]many different minors, but some of the most common are Communication Studies, Psychology,
[00:10:40.220]Sociology, Political Science, English, Business, Art, Entrepreneurship,
[00:10:49.100]Hospitality, Tourism, and Resort, Merchandising, and Athletic Coaching. The slide shows a link to
[00:10:57.340]explore all the available minors. You don't need to know what your minor is when you start as a
[00:11:02.360]freshman, but you will need to declare it by your sophomore year. During your NSE advising
[00:11:07.920]appointment, your academic advisor will discuss minor options with you. Since we are a college
[00:11:14.180]of mass communications, we have a world language requirement for all students in
[00:11:19.020]our college. If you took four years of a world language in high school, then you have already
[00:11:24.120]fulfilled our language requirement. If you completed two years of a world language in high
[00:11:29.240]school, but didn't complete up to four, you may take 101 and 102 of any world language we offer
[00:11:35.680]to fulfill your language requirement. However, if a student took less than two years of a world
[00:11:41.680]language in high school, they must complete four semesters or through 202 of a world language at
[00:11:48.940]UNL to meet their language requirement. At UNL, we offer the following classical and modern
[00:11:55.220]languages. Arabic, Chinese, Czech, French, German, Japanese, Latin, Sign Language, and Spanish.
[00:12:05.860]Let's look at what a first semester schedule typically looks like for a student in our
[00:12:11.860]college. All students coming straight from high school will take JOMC 100, which is called
[00:12:18.860]First Year Experience. Everyone will also take JOMC 101, Principles of Mass Media, and
[00:12:26.920]the first two courses in our Communication Design series, JOMC 130 and 131. Then depending
[00:12:34.960]on the student's major, they would also take the Introductory Ad PR course, Sports Media
[00:12:40.860]course, or Journalism course. Students often add at least one ACE course to their first
[00:12:47.480]semester.
[00:12:48.780]A typical first semester for a student enrolled in our college is to be registered in 14 to
[00:12:54.660]17 credit hours. This fall, we will have two different faculty members who will be teaching
[00:13:00.500]JOMC 101. The first is Matt Waite, who joined our faculty in 2011.
[00:13:05.980]For nearly 15 years, Matt worked in daily newspapers in Arkansas and Florida, where
[00:13:12.900]he won numerous awards in both states. He was inducted into the Nebraska Press Association
[00:13:18.700]Hall of Fame in 2016 and the Daily Nebraskans Hall of Fame in 2022. Sharon Baldinelli is teaching
[00:13:27.300]our other section of JOMC 101. Sharon has more than 20 years in the field of communication and
[00:13:34.260]has done a great deal of work in the healthcare industry. Kaci Richter is teaching both sections
[00:13:40.600]of JOMC 130 this fall. This one credit hour course is the theory behind design thinking and runs for
[00:13:48.620]first eight weeks of the semester. Kaci serves as the communication design coordinator and
[00:13:54.740]coordinates all the courses in our 130 series. She also has many years of radio broadcasting
[00:14:00.800]on-air experience. She's been in stations including KBiz 106.3, The Blaze, KSLI 104.1,
[00:14:11.920]KISS FM, and KLMY My 106.3. Brian
[00:14:18.540]Hubbard will be teaching Ad PR 151: Introduction to Advertising and Public Relations this upcoming
[00:14:25.180]fall. Brian founded ATTO Mexico and it is quickly becoming one of the most awarded and recognized
[00:14:33.020]integrated marketing agencies in Latin America, winning major clients including American Express,
[00:14:39.340]Ford, Citibank, and Jose Cuervo. Chris Grave will be teaching Journalism 107 known as
[00:14:48.460]Information Gathering in the fall. She has over 30 years of experience in journalism.
[00:14:53.900]Chris has been a reporter and line editor, assistant city editor, managing editor, and newspaper columnist.
[00:15:02.060]In 2018, she was a member of a team awarded the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for local reporting.
[00:15:10.060]Brian Petrotta is teaching Sports 150, Intro to Sports Media and Communications, a 15-year sports
[00:15:18.380]PR and broadcasting veteran. Petrada now studies emerging issues in sports media, primarily
[00:15:25.620]challenges presented by legalized sports betting in the U.S. His research interests include the
[00:15:32.860]nexus of legalized sports betting and the media, public relations in sports, esports on college
[00:15:40.180]campuses, historical research, and the rich relationship between sport, society, and policy.
[00:15:48.300]I am sure someone has told you by now that college is very different than high school.
[00:15:53.320]Please listen to them as they are speaking the truth. Instead of being in class all day Monday
[00:15:59.800]through Friday like in high school, you are likely to be in class for only 15 hours in the whole week.
[00:16:05.960]In the College of Journalism and Mass Communications, we have several one-credit-hour
[00:16:11.360]courses, but most classes you will take will be three-credit hours. What does that mean exactly?
[00:16:18.220]For every one hour that you are in class a week, the expectation is that you will do
[00:16:23.760]two to three hours of work outside of class each week. So, for a typical three-credit
[00:16:29.080]hour class, you should be expecting to do six to nine hours of work outside of class.
[00:16:33.460]of class each week. This means you are expected to complete the assigned
[00:16:38.260]readings before class time, take notes, do homework, complete projects, write papers,
[00:16:45.160]and study outside of class hours. One of the most common challenges that incoming
[00:16:51.240]freshmen have is managing all this newfound free time. To help with this, all
[00:16:56.980]incoming students in our college take JOMC 100 their first semester. JOMC 100 is
[00:17:04.180]our first year experience course. Students in this class are all freshmen
[00:17:09.320]who are straight out of high school and have not been enrolled as an
[00:17:13.180]undergraduate college student before. The instructor for this course will be your
[00:17:18.260]assigned academic advisor. This allows the academic advisors to really get to
[00:17:23.500]know their advisees from the very moment students come to campus.
[00:17:26.920]Please make a note on your calendar now that this class opens in Canvas two
[00:17:33.060]weeks prior to the first day of fall classes. So beginning Monday, August 11th,
[00:17:38.540]you will need to log in online to Canvas, shown in the bottom left part of the
[00:17:43.360]screen, and start completing your online assignments that are due prior to you
[00:17:47.680]arriving on campus. During this course, which runs until around Thanksgiving,
[00:17:52.660]we'll cover college basics, time management,
[00:17:56.860]how to get your semester off to a good start, and how to be a successful student.
[00:18:01.400]We will have advice from upperclassmen, we will spend a lot of time talking
[00:18:06.100]about our majors and degree requirements, we will work out a graduation plan, and
[00:18:11.380]we will start helping you build peer relationships with students in your
[00:18:15.400]class and upperclassmen. Now, let's transition into talking about our
[00:18:21.340]academic advising team. Besides me, there are three other advisors in the College
[00:18:26.800]of Journalism and Mass Communications. They are Karez Hassan, Vanessa Killen, and
[00:18:32.560]Rachel Nozicka. The advisor you meet with for your NSE advising appointment will
[00:18:38.320]be your academic advisor all the way through graduation. This allows advisors
[00:18:43.720]and students to meet frequently and get to know each other, so the advisor can
[00:18:48.220]make suggestions that would best fit the student. We only advise students in our
[00:18:53.680]college, but we network with faculty and staff across the
[00:18:56.740]university so we can help support students in many ways. We help students
[00:19:01.960]navigate their academic requirements and talk to them about the support resources
[00:19:06.580]available for them and help connect them if needed. Please don't be afraid to
[00:19:11.080]reach out to your advisor if you have a question or concern or if you are
[00:19:15.400]struggling in any way. The sooner you reach out, the earlier we can connect you
[00:19:20.500]with the resources that would be most helpful for you. Remember, academic advisors are
[00:19:26.680]here to be your ally. There are many differences between high school and
[00:19:31.460]college and we wanted to discuss a few of the notable ones now. FERPA, or the
[00:19:37.600]Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, governs university policies about
[00:19:42.880]how student information is shared. The government has decided that when a
[00:19:47.700]student turns 18 years old or they enter a post-secondary institution, the rights
[00:19:53.560]to their information under FERPA transfer from the
[00:19:56.620]parents to the student. That means that even if the parents or family member are
[00:20:01.900]funding the students college education, the parent does not have any access to
[00:20:07.420]any of the students information without their permission. Students can go into My
[00:20:13.000]Red if they would like and give access to parents so they could talk with
[00:20:16.840]someone at the University to receive information. Students can select what
[00:20:21.560]kind of access they want to allow. It can be just about billing information or a
[00:20:26.560]number of other things. There's more about academics as well. If a student has
[00:20:31.660]not gone in and given a parent access, we are legally not allowed to provide
[00:20:36.880]any information to parents. The Office of Service for Students with Disabilities
[00:20:42.640]is an important resource on campus. This office is used largely for students who
[00:20:47.560]had an IEP or a 504 in high school. Importantly, student accommodations from
[00:20:53.920]high school do not automatically transfer to the
[00:20:56.500]office. To get accommodations set at UNL, students must register with the SSD office.
[00:21:03.300]I would encourage you to do this right away as their office is likely to need some documentation
[00:21:08.760]from you. Please know that everything is extremely confidential here. Students should check in
[00:21:15.680]with the SSD office if they have a physical disability, a learning disability, suffer
[00:21:21.740]from ADHD, have a chronic health issue, have a mental health
[00:21:26.440]condition, have complications with the pregnancy, long-term COVID symptoms, or
[00:21:32.340]even a temporary injury. Please know that the SSD office is your ally. You should
[00:21:38.500]never feel nervous about asking them for help. It's important to register as soon
[00:21:43.120]as possible. You might not need to use the accommodation, but it's important to
[00:21:47.560]have the plan set in place. Once a plan is set in place, students will be
[00:21:52.440]provided an accommodations letter that they can give to their faculty.
[00:21:56.380]The letter will tell faculty what accommodations the student is allowed,
[00:22:00.880]but will never share the student's diagnosis. So unless a student chooses to
[00:22:06.100]disclose that, the SSD office is the only place on campus with that information.
[00:22:10.840]You can connect with the SSD office by calling them at 402-472-3787
[00:22:19.900]or emailing them at SSDDocumentation@unl.edu.
[00:22:26.320]The last thing we want to talk about transitioning is student safety on a college campus.
[00:22:34.680]Please sign up for UNL Alert.
[00:22:37.060]UNL Alert is designed to provide good information so you can make good decisions about your
[00:22:43.160]safety.
[00:22:44.760]This resource will provide weather, hazard, and other urgent information.
[00:22:49.940]It will send emergency information using multiple modes and methods to help assure that those
[00:22:55.300]affected
[00:22:56.260]are informed of emergencies as soon as possible.
[00:22:59.580]To help keep themselves safe, students can sign up at unlalert.unl.edu.
[00:23:08.460]We strongly encourage you to sign up.
[00:23:11.180]The first thing we are going to discuss here is student academic responsibilities.
[00:23:17.020]While you are a student in the CoJMC at UNL, you are expected to maintain a minimum of
[00:23:23.020]a 2.0 GPA.
[00:23:26.200]In addition, students in our college are required to earn a C or higher in all major and most
[00:23:32.520]minor courses.
[00:23:34.760]Students must also complete every degree requirement before they are eligible to graduate.
[00:23:41.100]Besides going to class and completing assignments, the most important daily responsibility for
[00:23:46.140]students is to keep up with their Huskers email.
[00:23:50.220]I know everyone has their own personal email account, but once you become a student, starting
[00:23:56.140]early, you should be checking your Huskers email every day.
[00:24:00.280]Faculty and staff won't have access to your personal email account, so all relevant information
[00:24:05.860]is going to your Huskers account.
[00:24:08.300]You'll get information about classes, scholarships, and messages from faculty.
[00:24:13.780]Our Dean sends a Monday email with college information.
[00:24:17.180]Natalie, our Career Development Specialist, sends an email every Saturday morning that
[00:24:22.940]has details about jobs and internship opportunities.
[00:24:26.080]All kinds of scheduling updates and course offerings will happen in your Huskers email.
[00:24:32.760]Please make sure to check this daily.
[00:24:35.100]You'll find many answers to many questions in your Huskers email.
[00:24:40.520]In addition to academic responsibilities, students also have personal ones as well.
[00:24:46.080]Of a very important one is communication.
[00:24:49.260]It is up to the student to communicate to their advisors and instructors.
[00:24:53.840]Everyone in our college is here to support students.
[00:24:56.020]But, we need to know what students need.
[00:24:58.960]There is no shame or judgment if you are overwhelmed or need support.
[00:25:03.620]We are here for you, but we need to know if you need us.
[00:25:07.460]Students are also responsible to communicate with their parents and family and let them
[00:25:11.660]know how things are going.
[00:25:14.200]Let them know what's going well and where you are struggling.
[00:25:18.040]This is another difference from high school.
[00:25:20.340]It is up to the students to seek assistance when needed and not parents reaching out on
[00:25:24.960]their behalf.
[00:25:25.960]All students in the College of Journalism and Mass Communication are required to have
[00:25:31.000]a laptop.
[00:25:32.740]Please check out the minimum requirements listed on our website.
[00:25:36.720]Since this is a college requirement, it's possible that you might be able to use financial
[00:25:41.140]aid to help you pay for it.
[00:25:43.440]Please talk to Husker Hub to see if you are eligible to receive aid for this.
[00:25:48.240]Some software will be provided for free to UNL students.
[00:25:52.660]As a CoJMC student, you will be able to download a
[00:25:55.900]Adobe Creative Cloud onto your device, but must make sure that your laptop meets our
[00:26:01.100]minimum requirements.
[00:26:03.940]Now let's spend a little time discussing student support options available to you.
[00:26:09.200]Natalie Becerra is our college's Career Development Specialist, and her office is located right
[00:26:14.860]next to mine, so she's back with the academic advisors and easily accessible to students.
[00:26:21.000]She provides career coaching for all the students in the College of Journalism and Mass Communications.
[00:26:25.840]Natalie helps students work on resumes, cover letters, and create job search strategies.
[00:26:32.820]She's also a good person to talk to about exploring major and minor options.
[00:26:37.440]She teaches a sophomore-level class called Professional Development, or JOMC20.
[00:26:42.900]Here, students start their portfolio, which they will eventually submit when applying
[00:26:47.520]for jobs.
[00:26:49.000]In this class, students build their LinkedIn site, develop their resume, work on a cover
[00:26:54.160]letter, and start building their resume.
[00:26:55.780]Every Saturday, Natalie produces a weekly career bulletin newsletter that we mentioned
[00:27:02.800]earlier when discussing your Husker's email.
[00:27:06.260]Another valuable resource for our students is Sara Troupe.
[00:27:10.440]She is our in-house academic navigator.
[00:27:13.060]She is here solely to support students for anything they might need.
[00:27:17.020]If you have a question and you're not sure who to ask, you can always ask Sara.
[00:27:21.700]If you're struggling in class and need extra support, if you're facing personal heart
[00:27:25.720]hardships, or if you need help connecting with campus offices and other resources, Sara
[00:27:30.720]is a great resource.
[00:27:32.720]There are times during peak registration when sometimes it's harder to get in to see an
[00:27:36.480]advisor and Sara would definitely help you during that period.
[00:27:40.540]She'll connect you back to your academic advisor if we need to know what's going on or what
[00:27:44.680]you need help with.
[00:27:45.680]Sara is a very valuable resource.
[00:27:48.620]Don't be afraid to reach out to her.
[00:27:51.460]Besides all the resources available inside our college, there are many more resources
[00:27:55.660]available across campus for all students at UNL.
[00:28:00.300]One of them is called the Center for Academic Success and Transition, known as CAST.
[00:28:05.960]This is a place that has tons of resources for students who need anything for any academic
[00:28:11.160]support, whether it's getting motivation to work on a project or whether it's battling
[00:28:15.960]time management issues or procrastination.
[00:28:19.300]They also offer subject tutoring for many of the ACE classes you might take.
[00:28:25.600]One of the resources is the Writing Center.
[00:28:27.720]Writing tutors are available to help students for any course where they're doing writing.
[00:28:32.500]This resource is largely used for English classes, but our students may use it if they
[00:28:37.320]get stuck or have a hard time coming up with an idea for a journalism course or need a
[00:28:42.240]second eye on their grammar.
[00:28:44.580]The Writing Center also holds accountability sessions, so if you need a buddy to keep you
[00:28:49.640]on track with your writing assignments, they are a great option.
[00:28:55.540]Additionally, UNL has a language lab that is available to support students who are taking a world
[00:28:59.520]language class.
[00:29:01.340]These are just a few of the many resources available to students for free across campus.
[00:29:08.180]There are other exciting ways that students can get involved inside our college.
[00:29:12.980]In the College of Journalism and Mass Communication, we have Nebraska eSports, American Copy Editor
[00:29:19.800]Society known as ACES, the Ad Club, 90.3 - the
[00:29:25.480]KRNU Radio Station, National Broadcasting Society, the Sports Media Club, the Daily
[00:29:32.480]Nebraskan, which is a student-run newspaper, and Public Relations Student Society of America
[00:29:38.320]known as PRSSA.
[00:29:40.400]Through many of these clubs and organizations, students will get the opportunity to participate
[00:29:45.400]in national competitions.
[00:29:47.880]Students also have the option to sign up to serve as a peer mentor for freshmen or to
[00:29:52.180]serve as a CoJMC ambassador on our Ambassador
[00:29:55.420]Team for recruiting and welcoming new students.
[00:29:59.340]SLICE, Student Leadership Involvement and Community Engagement, has over 540 sponsored
[00:30:06.140]organizations and clubs you could participate in.
[00:30:10.080]It seems hard to believe that you couldn't find something interesting there, but SLICE
[00:30:14.360]also encourages you to reach out to them if you'd like to start another organization.
[00:30:20.060]Another wonderful opportunity UNL offers is study abroad.
[00:30:24.240]Be sure to check out our
[00:30:25.360]Global Experience Office and look at all the opportunities available for you to travel
[00:30:29.820]and learn.
[00:30:31.280]With hundreds of unique programs abroad, students can find the perfect fit their academic, personal,
[00:30:37.400]and professional goals, as well as their budget.
[00:30:40.540]There are several kinds of study abroad programs available here.
[00:30:44.500]One is faculty-led programs.
[00:30:46.600]Here students attend courses developed, taught, and led by University of Nebraska-Lincoln
[00:30:52.060]faculty members.
[00:30:53.900]We have a couple options through our
[00:30:55.300]own College of Journalism and Mass Communications.
[00:30:58.940]One course is a photojournalism class where students have traveled to Vietnam, explored
[00:31:04.520]and taken photos, and created nearly-ready-to-publish photo essays.
[00:31:09.680]This year the photojournalism class will be traveling to Costa Rica.
[00:31:14.140]Other options are exchange programs where you can challenge and distinguish for yourself
[00:31:18.260]by studying as a fully integrated student at a host institution for a semester or even
[00:31:23.980]an academic year.
[00:31:25.240]Talk to your advisor if you're interested so you can work together to fit it in your
[00:31:29.920]degree.
[00:31:30.920]It's important to plan towards graduation, but remember college is also an opportunity
[00:31:36.600]to explore your options and expand your horizons and studying abroad can be a great way to
[00:31:41.420]do that.
[00:31:43.360]You can also start connecting with us now by following us on social media.
[00:31:48.100]We're on Facebook, Twitter or X, Instagram, Threads, and LinkedIn.
[00:31:55.180]This is a great way to see what's going on with our students and learn about events in
[00:31:59.720]the College of Journalism and Mass Communications.
[00:32:04.360]We want families to stay connected as well, so we have a newsletter called "The Advisor"
[00:32:09.860]for families of our students.
[00:32:11.900]You can sign up at go.unl.edu/HMHY or use the QR code shown on the screen.
[00:32:25.120]There's a lot of information quickly today, so please don't hesitate to reach out.
[00:32:29.980]If you have any questions, feel free to email the advising team at cojamcadvising@unl.edu.
[00:32:39.740]There's also a resource site that you can access with this QR code here for the recordings,
[00:32:45.140]key links, and PowerPoint downloads for the orientation sessions.
[00:32:50.900]And finally, what questions do you have?
[00:32:53.520]What other information would be helpful?
[00:32:55.060]Please reach out to us because we'd like to give you the best information possible.
[00:32:59.620]We're so excited that you'll be on campus soon and joining us as a fellow Husker.
[00:33:05.420]Go Big Red!
