Vincennes University 2004 Graduate Bulletin Broadcasting • Broadcast Sales About the Cover TOP: “He’s wild, he’s crazy, he’s Insane Dane -- host of the “Three Song Throw Down” on WVUB-FM.” This quote comes from a description of Dane Foley’s on-air persona, made in a faculty letter nominating him for an Indiana Career & Technical Education Award for Excellence. In February, Dane became the VU Broadcasting Department’s recipient of this award for 2004, the department’s fourth consecutive winner. Dane joined the Broadcasting program in the Fall semester of 2002. He quickly became an asset in the department, through his class participation, his volunteerism, and his willingness to help other students. Dane’s volunteer efforts and achievements include a volunteer Friday night radio show dubbed “Request Blazers Best” on WVUB-FM, our 50,000 watt public radio station; numerous volunteer “remote” broadcasts on WVUB; working as a board operator for basketball games and other on-air shifts; training second year students preparing for their shifts on WVUB; peer tutoring in the Broadcasting Department; and gathering, writing, and recording news for WVUB. In June, 2003, Dane was hired as the student Assistant Program Director of WVUB-FM.

Dear Fellow Broadcaster: Thank you for taking the time to look over this booklet, which introduces our 2004 graduates and tells a little bit about Vincennes University Broadcasting. Vincennes University Broadcasting has two goals: to prepare qualified graduates for successful employment in Radio, Television, and allied career areas and to prepare them for transfer to four-year schools after their graduation from VU. This booklet will explain how we prepare our students to be productive assets to your business. The major advantage our graduates have over graduates of other Broadcasting Programs is “Hands-On” experience. Within this booklet you will read descriptions of the extensive exposure to “real world” broadcasting that our students are required to experience. Also, this booklet lists graduates of our “Broadcast Sales” option. These stu- dents have been specially trained in the area of broadcast sales and all come with actual “on-the-street” sales experience. There are many reasons why more and more stations and allied businesses are turning to VU whenever they have entry-level or mid-management openings. The main reason, though, is the same as it has always been -- our students have solid training in the basics, receive countless hours of hands-on training, and know what it’s like to work in the broadcast business! Please take a few moments to read this booklet, and if you have any questions, feel free to call me at (812) 888-5417. Better yet, take some time out of your busy schedule and pay us a visit. We’re sure you’ll like what you see! Sincerely, Douglas A. Young Chairman of Broadcasting Vincennes University Vincennes, Indiana 47591 [email protected] Page 1 Cody Barnard 10870 N.
