Millersville University’s National Broadcasting Society (NBS) chapter and the Habitat for Humanity chapter are both participating in positive activities during spring break.
From Wednesday to Sunday this week, 20 students from the NBS Alpha Epsilon Rho Chapter are in Washington, D.C., to participate in the 2013 NBS-AERho National Convention.
While in Washington, thanks to the contacts of their advisor, Dr. Bill Dorman, the students will tour the set of the ESPN program, “Pardon the Interruption.” They hope to meet the anchors of the program, Washington Post columnists Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon.
On Saturday evening Millersville University’s NBS will take part in a competition with other college students across the nation. The competition encourages and rewards students for their accomplishments in audio, video, editing, scriptwriting, web development, academic research and writing.
“We had numerous students enter the video competition, but we have only one finalist,” said Dorman. “Danielle Francisco is a finalist in the documentary category for a project she did in her advanced television production class last semester.”
Meanwhile, six students from Millersville University’s Habitat for Humanity chapter will be taking part in a trip over spring break. They will travel to Point Pleasant, New Jersey, as part of the Habit for Humanity Collegiate Challenge.
“In recent years, we traveled to another state for the week such as North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, but we felt that we are more needed in New Jersey after Superstorm Sandy than in the Midwest as originally planned,” said Habitat for Humanity secretary Katelyn Brenner.
