B^lack S^tudent C^ommunication C^aucus

 

 

 

The Black Student Communication Caucus enforces leadership in the communication professions.  They conduct workshops for enhancing resumes before going on professional trips.  They’ve journeyed to Atlanta, New York, and Chicago to establish contacts in telecommunications, journalism, advertising, and public relations.

Last year BSCC planned an all day conference called “Suite Success,” with guest speaker Jerry Revish (news anchor in Columbus).  He and many other mass media professionals spent the day advising BSCC members on matters of their respective professions and discussing internships and extracurricular activities that would enhance their media endeavors. 

On the off year of the conference we communicators organized a Jazz Fest, scheduled around Ohio University’s Dad’s Weekend.  Jazz Fest 2000 featured Andre Barton and his quartet and also provided comestibles and comradery for OU dads.

Aside from our two big productions, the Black Student Communication Caucus preserves its name within the community by volunteering with WOUB radio telethons, ReUse Industries, Habitat for Humanity, and more.  Many of our members have also participated in the community service kickoff and senior Olympics.  We understand the true meaning of the Golden Rule.

Our organization encourages its members to network.  Many of our members are contributing to student senate, the Athens Post, WOUB radio, Southeast Ohio Magazine, PRSSA, and our own publication The Flow.  Showcasing events and information surrounding the African American community, The Flow is our quarterly newsletter.  Utilizing communication as a powerful tool, the mission of the Black Student Communication Caucus is to encourage personal/professional development and increase participation on the Ohio University campus and in the Athens community.
