| Description |
The Houston Office of Taylor Publishing is pleased to announce the 2008 Communications Workshop. More than a dozen nationally recognized speakers and artists will converge at Texas A&M University to help you and your staffs learn the latest and greatest ideas in high school journalism. Whether you have new students looking to learn the fundamentals of journalism or senior staffers ready for advanced training, this year's Communications Workshop will provide to both you and your students all you need to know to prepare for the upcoming school year.
We offer several different tracks. During workshop sign-up (before the workshop), each student or adviser selects one track. The tracks are yearbook, newspaper, marketing, photography, broadcast (new track), and beginning and advanced adviser sessions. Software training will be included in all tracks and will feature InDesign®, Photoshop®, EliteVision™, and/or StudioWorks™. We will continue to focus on individual interaction with instructors. Cover artists will be on hand to assist in designing your cover and endsheets. Each staff will receive a one-on-one 45-minute session with a cover artist.
Last year was our first year to hold this workshop at Texas A&M University. For this year, we have significantly upgraded our facilities. Students and advisers who choose to stay on campus will be housed in The Commons. ALL meals will be provided in Duncan Hall, and ALL classes will be held in the Rudder Tower / Memorial Student Center complex. These facilities are located in the same part of the campus. We hope these improvements will help to maximize the enjoyment and educational experience for all.
In addition to the daily classes, exciting evening activities will provide a break for you and your staff from the intense daily schedule. At the closing ceremony, trophies and certificates will be awarded to those students and staffs who excel at the workshop.
