The Oklahoma Pro chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists plans to sponsor up to two student journalists to attend SPJ’s national convention, which is Oct. 3-5 at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.
The convention is an excellent opportunity for students to network with professionals working in the media industry. It will include professional development programs, exhibitors, recruiter visits, and presentations from top industry leaders.
To apply for Oklahoma Pro sponsorship, students must submit a letter of interest, their resume and three to five examples of their work. Materials may be sent via e-mail to spjok2.0@gmail.com or mailed to: Oklahoma City University, Attn: Kenna Griffin, Mass Communications – Office 117, 2501 N. Blackwelder Ave., Oklahoma City, OK 73106.
The materials must be received no later than midnight Friday, Aug. 27. The Oklahoma Pro board of directors will notify the chosen students by Aug. 30.
For more information about the contest, e-mail Kenna Griffin at kgriffin@okcu.edu. For more information about the convention, visit www.spj.org/convention.asp.
