Dear Fellow Broadcaster: Welcome to the newest edition of the Graduate Bulletin from Vincennes University’s Broadcasting Department. It introduces our graduates from May, August, and December of 2008. This Bulletin is also available online. You can access it in three easy steps: • Visit the VU website at vinu.edu • At the VU homepage word search “Broadcasting” • Select Grad Bulletin This is the first year that our students are required to have completed both the Production and Sales track for graduation. Our Advisory Committee has informed us over the past two years that stations are looking for employees who can perform a variety of tasks, especially in the TV reporting area. Our students will be able to shoot ENG, write their own script, do a stand-up, and edit their own footage. In addition, after our graduates pass the Radio Marketing Professional (RMP) test, they will continue to be certified by the Radio Advertising Bureau. WVUB-FM has taken the leap into high-definition broadcasting. WVUB-The Blazer continues to be extremely popular in southern Indiana. Now we offer WVUB HD-2 with a Cool Jazz format. To listen to WVUB HD-2, go to vinu.edu and click on “WVUB HD-2 Plays Cool Jazz” on the left side of the page near the bottom. Vincennes University continues to give students a hands-on education from the very first week of classes. In the opening week of labs, our students learn the operation of studio cameras and audio boards. VU Broadcasting is far from “theory” oriented. We keep our equipment as state-of-the-art as possible. Our faculty and staff have worked in the broadcasting industry and can relate to the needs of potential employers. Practically every station in Indiana has employed VU Broadcasting graduates because they are ready to go to work. Those students who decide to continue their education at a four-year school report that they are ahead of the other students in the major because of the classes and labs required here at VU. I appreciate your time in looking over this booklet. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at (812) 888-5417. If you would like to see our facilities, please contact me to arrange a tour. Sincerely, Douglas A.
