The LEAP Center works hard to provide students with skills that will be beneficial to them in myriad careers. This includes soft skills such as punctuality, interpersonal, teamwork, and collaboration, but it also includes skills such as software, writing, and media relations.
Of course, part of the media experience is running our own blog and social media platforms, but we also rely on outside news agencies to assist. In the past, media relations has included interviews with print media, such as Postcards…
….or television…
…but every semester, the LEAP Center also sits down with KSAM’s News Director Larry Crippen, for an “Around Town” episode.
This semester was no different, and this past week, we met with Crippen to discuss our experience at Chilly at the Lodge, as well as upcoming events such as our 20th Anniversary Celebration, the Wynne Home’s Empty Bowls, the Wynne Home’s Easter Egg Hunt, the 10th Court of Appeals, Citizenship, and some hoped-for trips.
You can hear the whole program below.
It’s always nice to meet with Mr. Crippen and to help get our events out to the public, but a key aspect of this is to teach students the skills they will need in the working world.
Many thanks to Larry Crippen and KSAM for covering our events!
