Cultural Event 4

Capstone Session:

For one my my cultural event requirements, I attended the capstone poster session for the Communication Department at Shepherd University. While I was presenting at the event, I also had the opportunity to see what my fellow classmates did for their final projects.

All of the presentations were amazing! There were several radio plays, a marketing plan for a local restaurant, a blog about Appalachian heritage, a display about voice acting, a website for the Shepherdstown Police Department, a comedic film, and a presentation about diseases that effect babies...  a wide range of topics that showcase how diverse the field of Communication is. It was very rewarding to see the projects that my fellow students worked on this semester; they all did a great job and represented our field admirably.

How this fits into my final project:

Seeing what other people in my class accomplished was interesting, and helped me review my final project. In viewing the quality of work that our department produced, I think that our field will continue to have a good reputation; and that because of the level of work that I saw at the presentation, Shepherd will stand out on a resume.

That our department looks good, and that my class produced professional-qulaity work was important to me because much of our capstone class was about using the skills that we've developed throughout our education to produce work that will help us to find employment. Being identified with Shepherd and the Communication Department will be a plus on my resume; and this semester has been an incredible experience!
