Journalism and Communications

The Pratt American

Newspaper offers full scholarships to non-majors

 
 

      Are you in need of FREE money to help pay for your educa­tion? The Pratt Ameri­can newspaper at Pratt Community College may be your solution.

            At Pratt Com­munity College the newspaper staff is not made up of Journalism majors, but instead any student interested in be­ing involved on campus and interested in writ­ing, designing, editing or selling advertisement for the newspaper. 

            Our staff cur­rently consists of Math majors, Biology majors, Art majors, English majors, etc. 

            The staff is fairly small, ranging in size from 12-20 students, depending on the se­mester. 
            Students receive one-on-one interaction and attention from myself (the adviser) as well as from other students on the staff.
    

            Again I can’t stress enough that this course is NOT a course designed for Journal­ism majors but instead is an activity course for students wanting to be involved with an inter­est in newspaper writ­ing, designing, editing or advertising sales.

            I hope you decide to visit with me about this great oppor­tunity. You can contact me directly at 620-450-2146 or call the Pratt Community College Admissions office at 620-450-2000 to sched­ule a campus visit.

            Please make sure that you tell the admis­sions representative that you are interested in be­ing a part of The Pratt American newspaper staff.

            I look forward to hearing from you and discussing this opportu­nity!
