FreshTV, an accelerated training program that prepares freshmen students to be successful in the many areas of communications, will hold its interest meeting at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 7 in Studio B in the McEwen Communications building.
The mission of FreshTV, which is open only to freshmen, is to encourage student growth and exploration in the area of cinema, journalism and broadcast production. The 15-week program consists of a series of workshops that are designed to set students up to have the base knowledge and contacts to be successful in the beginning of their college career.
Students receive education that covers basic training on cameras and other equipment, studio rotations, non-fiction and fiction story design and production and planning. Students in Elon’s School of Communications are all encouraged to pursue a specialty, but they’re also required to demonstrate core competencies across media platforms. FreshTV introduces students to the worlds of news reporting, documentary filmmaking and non-fiction storytelling.
