We are gathered at St. Thomas today with 172 high school students from the ThreeSixty program, a college/career fair. So far, the students have been learning a wide variety of things (including, hopefully, sports journalism and multi-media related things). Here is an example of some of the other things students have been learning about in other sessions:

Public relations: They’re the middleman and companies pay them to put their story into a futuristic kind of technology. So they’re not just spending a lot of money on ads. They’re going on Myspace and Facebook and stuff like that.

Art of design: Brand recognition and brand identity are the key points. Updating and keeping up with the time. Making things more modern.

Sports journalism: It’s not just about writing for the newspaper anymore; it’s about blogging and other multi-media things. And we’re promoting high school athletes.

And just for fun, we decided to do a post on RandBall and make everyone famous.
