Hey, everyone.
Welcome to the new
We had our last official meeting of the 2007-08 academic year this afternoon. I'm really excited at the potential the organization has for the 2008-09 school year. We have some awesome ideas and we're ready and excited to move forward on implementation.
For those of you who were unable to attend the meeting, here is a synopsis of what went on:
Next year we are planning on asking members to pay $5 in dues to help fund awesome events and workshops.
Some of the workshops and events that we are going to work on scheduling include a Police and the Press symposium, an interviewing workshop, a photojournalism workshop, a Science and the Press symposium and a new media Website building workshop.
We are, of course, open to lots of ideas from our members. If there is anything you would like to see, just let us know and we'll see what we can accommodate for the coming school year!
Also, we would like to set up an archive to display the work that the members of UC SPJ have done. This would be a place to read articles, columns, features or to look at pictures, photo essays or even videos.
If you have an awesome summer internship or are doing something J-related, let us know! We're interested in what our members are working on!
This is going to be a great year for our chapter and I'm excited to meet and work with everyone! If you have any questions, comments, suggestions or ideas, please let us know!

Nice job, Taylor and SPJ company. I am really interested in your programming plans for next year and want to talk with you about getting the J Program involved with some of them at least.
Happy Summer, folks. This blog has already made me look forward to next fall.
