Two student reporters from West Side Stories, Elliot Perpich and Sam Hall, produced a long-form science story called "Reaching for the Stars" that was picked up by SciTech Now, a web/TV program that is distributed on the PBS network throughout the U.S.
The Reaching for the Stars segment will go out in Feed #524 on March 25th and has an intended air week of April 29th. The SoC's Ad Club and PRSSA chapter joined with GVSU's AMA chapter, along with AMA-WM and AAF-WM, to present an event called Career Connections. The event featured student/professional networking, career tips, a resume workshop, and mock interviews. It was held at the University Club on the Pew Campus, and Robin Spring reports that it was highly successful.
GrandPR, GVSU's student-run PR firm, was featured in the Holland Sentinel. The full article can be found at this link.
