The Fall Student / Alumni Conference is a high-powered 1-day session custom built for current WJPZ and Syracuse students to address issues pertaining to WJPZ, the radio business, and finding a job in today’s business climate. Students and alumni alike are encouraged to meet and network, and because an alumni reference is now a condition for the 'Lock' scholarship, it is an invaluable experience for students.
Agendas for the Fall Conference vary from year to year, but typically include:
a) Review and analysis of the station’s overall marketing position
b) Identifying the Z89 listener
c) Airchecks – DJ, news, sports
d) Sales & promotional brainstorming
e) Programming
f) Management & communication
g) Networking, career building and resume preparation
h) Integrating PR into the mix
The Friday Conference, held every year during Banquet Weekend, is scheduled for March 5, 2010. If you are interested and able to help, please contact conference chairpersons Geoff Herbert or Kevin Rich atEducation@wjpzalumni.org.
