InterCom, the biannual alumni magazine of the College of Mass Communications and Information Studies, is now brought to you by students in the Magazine Production and Internal Communications class.
The course, taught by Lisa Sisk, is an upper level elective focused on magazine production for an internal audience. The students have produced this issue of InterCom, as well as material for the InterCom pages on the College’s Web site.
“This class is an excellent venue to showcase our students’ talents for our alumni and other friends. I’m pleased that Dean Bierbauer and the two school directors have been so supportive. They’ve encouraged us to think beyond a typical magazine format and have inspired us to pursue a variety of stories,” Sisk said.
The 12 undergraduate and three graduate students have a variety of backgrounds and interests, such as creative writing, law, graphic design, editing and fashion. Sisk is excited to introduce you to the student writers and designers.
