Faculty

WMUL-FM. The station actually gives students a chance to get experience in programming, producing shows, newscasts, sportscasts, etc. I learned more and took more away from my time volunteering there than in class I took while at Marshall. Students who work there gain a sense of ownership and are proud of their work. It is a sense of pride that can't be matched with any classroom assignment.
|
Internships. Working at WV Radio, I've learned “other” schools don't require the internships. Students need to get a taste of the “real world.”And while I know about WMUL's reputation, employers still want to see some sort of professional experience on the resume.

|
A commitment to outstanding course content and the “real life” lessons that were taught so that it's easy, as a graduate, to look back on examples taught in school to determine next steps in a professional situation.
|
The high expectations placed on SOJMC students - sink or swim.
|
The professors I had from fall 2000 - spring 2004 were outstanding! Very knowledgable in the field as well as exemplary in the classroom lecture.
|
Many chances to learn outside of class
|
Close group of students
|
Open atmosphere with opportunity to be creative
|
The faculty. I have never seen a faculty more dedicated to the success of its students than at the SOJMC. I remember many trips to faculty offices to discuss courses, coursework, and professional development.
|
The extracurriculars. From faculty workshops, symposia, guest speakers (including the late Helen Thomas), the SOJMC always had something important happening outside the classroom. Students in the school were expected to go, and we did
|
Community and culture. The SOJMC always felt like a family, and I think the faculty and the organizations created an atmosphere where students supported one another. We worked together. We succeeded together. We failed together. It was a family.
|
Its faculty and staff, hands down. You guys are awesome.
|
The award winning student groups (WMUL, The Parthenon, etc.)

|
Close-knit enough that professors and students can get to know each other as people instead of just educator and educate.
|
The Parthenon as an independent lab to learn, screw up and experiment with journalism.
|
Strong professors who get involved in the education of individual students, push them and root for them.
|
Places like WMUL that offer “true to life” experience.

Relevant classes that truly prepare graduates to work in their preferred industry.
