Wilkes University’s 10th Annual Tom Bigler Journalism Conference will be held April 16 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The conference welcomes approximately 200 local high school students and their advisors to Wilkes' campus for a day filled with guest speakers, Wilkes alumni, Communication workshops and tours of the campus and Communication facilities.
This year’s conference theme is “Sports Journalism and Promotion.” The keynote speaker is Kevin Blackistone, a national columnist for AOL/FanHouse and a panelist on the daily ESPN show “Around the Horn.”
The conference is focused for high school students who are interested in journalism, telecommunications, public relations, and other areas of the communications field. The conference is free for all students and offers a lunch, student media competition, newspaper exchange and of course hands-on workshops with Wilkes students in Journalism, Public Relations, Television and Radio.
As a three year participant, I believe that this conference is extremely beneficial to all who attend, and I encourage anyone who has the time to stop by!!
