Office of Student Media supports nearly
200 students working in eight different
media. Five full-time professional employees,
in addition to faculty advisers, assist
students in their award-winning endeavors.
Kent JMC students gain
valuable experience and sharpen their marketable
skills. Many of the positions are paid,
enabling the students to focus on their
classes and student media experience. In
addition to building resumes, Student Media
forges student friendships into lifelong
professional contacts.
You will find more information

Student Media web site. If you are interested
in working for any of the following student
media, you should contact Lori Cantor, Student
Media manager, 205 Franklin Hall, 672-2586,
