www.carroll.edu The Prospector Communications department adding broadcasting classes By Patrick Manning Intern Writer Carroll College Communications department hopes to teach courses in televi sion broadcasting beginning August, 2005. Communication Chair Brent Northup says the department has already received a dozen applications for the new position. Northup and fellow com munication professor Dr. Charlotte Jones will interview additional candidates at a national communication conference in Boston in November. Northup says that if all goes as planned' an introductory course in television broadcast will be offered in August, with an advanced course in January 2006. Additionally, the new professor will teach Saints TV each semes ter, training students for on-air broadcast of a student-run televi sion show. The longterm plan, says Northup, is to add both a broadcast major and a broadcast minor, but those decisions will depend on student enrollment. If student demand is high for such courses, Northup expects the col lege will embrace the new pro grams. The new professor will most likely have a background in TV reporting, anchoring, or producing and will be interested in working in higher education, rather than in corporate broadcasting. \The exciting part of the search,\ says Northup, \is that the applicants include filmmakers and teachers from a variety of back grounds. One was trained in Russia and another in Nigeria. But the hard part is getting them to accept a salary below that avail able in bigger universities or at television stations.\ The idea of a Broadcasting pro gram was proposed in the late nineties when NBC landed its local studio onto Carroll's campus. Part of the agreement included a classroom that belongs to Carroll, a promise to provide on-air oppor tunities for students and commit ment to providing students with opportunities. However, the Communications department will be entirely responsible for the new private studio, faculty, and funding of this project. President Trebon and other members of the administra tion believe this new program to be an \investment\ to the college. Admissions hopes this program will attract more students to Carroll. Students who are interested in the new program are welcome to contact Northup. The courses will not be available for enrollment until after the new professor is hired, says Northup. That might mean that they might be added in late spring, after regular pre-regis tration concludes. I’m Back Baby & I’m Sexier T h a n Ever!

Career Services gives students direction by Mike Stratman Staff Writer If you are undecided on a major, a little shaky on your inter viewing skills, or not sure how to conduct a proper job search, then the Career Service center is the place to go. Career Services has put on graduate school workshops and the graduate school fair, said Rosie Walsh, director of career services. She hopes that the gradu ate school fair will become an annual event. Most of the schools were invited from the career fair in the spring, Walsh said. It has made some students realize that they need to start now, she said. Along with the career fair next semester, she will be offering a career development and life plan ning class. This class targets freshman and sophomore students who don't have a major or don't know what kind of career path they want from their major, Walsh said. This class will be offered every semes ter, she said. The class is a half semester and begins after midterms, said Walsh. She intended for the class to be structured like this because when students drop a class they can add credits back on with this course. It is usually in the middle when students are having difficulty making decisions, she added. \I see a lot of good flashes of insight happen for students,\ Walsh said. She really enjoys teaching this course and seeing the students grow from it. The course is one credit class, she said. Along with this class she will be offering job search workshops. These job search workshops will include such things as net working, job searching on the internet, said Walsh. She also wants to start an internship aware ness week to show sophomores and juniors the importance of internships, she said. In the future she hopes to be able to get schools such as Harvard's graduate school to come to Carroll, she said. These presti gious schools are looking to put Helena on their recruiting map, she added.
