Communication Studies Club

Communication Studies

The Communication Studies Club is a University-chartered club that allows for various opportunities in personal, professional, and civic growth.

The Whit

Since 1938, The Whit has served as Rowan University’s exclusive campus newspaper. This student-run weekly includes a staff of eleven editors as well as a dozen or more reporters who cover everything happening in and around the university, including news, features, art & entertainment, and athletics. The Whit is always looking for new student reporters and editors who are looking to engage with their university in unique ways while also gaining real-world experience as 21st century journalists, which not only means writing weekly news articles but also taking photos and producing engaging pieces of audio and video journalism for The Whit’s website. Student editors and reporters meet every Wednesday afternoon to compile that week’s issue in a fun, inclusive, and engaging environment, and the work they do plays a vital role in helping them get internships and jobs in the field of journalism. If you’re interested in being a part of The Whit this year, please email editor-in-chief Tara Lonsdorf at editor@thewhitonline.com.

PRSSA

Annual highlights include: Professional Speed Networking events in March, Dance Away Cystic Fibrosis in November, Organ Donor Day in April, Induction Brunch in December and Spring Gala in May.

PRaction, Rowan University's student public relations firm, offers students the opportunity to gain work experience while helping local businesses and nonprofits. Students meet twice-a-month on Wednesdays to develop strategies and execute PR plans for organizations such as YoGo Factory, The Sassy Apple, Family Promise, and the Animal Welfare Association (and many more). Students perfect their skills while working directly with clients and developing professional portfolios. Students are welcome to join at any time.

Prof Agency

Prof Agency is a group of students passionate about advertising and dedicated to help Rowan advertising students secure jobs after graduation. Through agency tours, career conferences, guest speakers and alumni night, students can obtain a well-rounded view of how to build their career in the advertising industry.

Cinema Workshop

Cinema Workshop is Rowan University's student filmmaking club, and has been for the past 42 years. This club offers students the opportunity to work on film, video and multimedia projects outside of the classroom experience. Students take skills learned in production classes and apply them to creative work either more personal or larger in scope than what is possible within the confines of a 15 week course of study. After a peer-oriented pitch and approval process, Cinema Workshop provides grants in the form of goods and services through production, culminating in a year-end screening of often award-winning films and videos.

Rowan Radio

WGLS-FM is a regional public radio service with a potential audience of almost 1.3 million people. The broadcast signal covers South Jersey, parts of Philadelphia and Delaware.

The studios are located in the College of Communication & Creative Arts on the campus of Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey. WGLS-FM is licensed to the Rowan University Board of Trustees and is a non-profit organization.

Twenty-four hours a day a staff of students and civic volunteers broadcast a variety of musical, cultural, educational, entertaining and informative programs of interest to the Rowan University and the surrounding communities.

Avant Literary Magazine

Avant Magazine is Rowan University’s oldest creative outlet. Avant has weekly meetings, Tuesdays at 8 p.m. in the Victoria building, room 200, at the intersection of Mick Drive and Victoria Street. At the meetings, submissions are anonymously reviewed by the editorial staff and democratically voted on for acceptance or resubmission.

Rowan students can submit their work year-round. We accept stories up to 2,500 words in length, and poems up to a comparable size. We also accept photography and artwork.

All submissions are read anonymously to provide a no-bias atmosphere when critiquing and accepting a work. No work is ever “rejected”: instead, the author of the work is asked to resubmit. All pieces are works in progress; if a work seems ready for publication, we vote as an editorial staff and select it.

Writing Arts Club

The Rowan University Writing Arts Club (RUWAC) is a community of writers who create and maintain a collaborative environment that thrives on diverse writerly needs, interests, and modes of engagement. RUWAC’s collaborative environment provides members—from any discipline—with opportunities to develop their writerly craft, to share their work with fellow writers who respect the processes inherent to all forms of writing, and to serve within the larger Rowan community.

Poetic Justice

The purpose of the club is to build a community with a focal point on spoken word, poetry, and cultivating a space for all forms of artists. It will also be a place for people to build their skillsets and apply their imagination in the form of creativity. The club aims to develop a strong creative scene on campus and pair art with social justice.

 

Lambda Pi Eta Honors Club

Lambda Pi Eta (LPH) is the National Communication Association’s official honor society at four-year colleges and universities nationwide. The honor society recognizes outstanding student scholars in Communication.

Health and Science Communication Club

The Health and Science Communication (HSC) Club provides an avenue for students interested in health and science communication (i.e., message development and design) to make connections with one another. The club facilitates opportunities for students to grow their knowledge and expand their interests while working on projects that benefit the broader community.
