The CBI Board of Directors last week held its annual retreat at the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis, site of the upcoming National Student Electronic Media Convention. The venue and the surrounding neighborhood are tremendous and we are primed to have our best convention ever.

Board Blog: Stay fresh for summer

“Summertime, and the livin’ is easy.” Those classic Gershwin lyrics have stood the test of time, but they don’t necessarily apply to student media. Because when the fish are jumpin’ and the cotton is high, most of our students are somewhere other than at their campus media outlets.

Board Blog: Debut Research Paper Showcase in Minneapolis

At the NSEMC in Seattle, I hosted a Faculty Roundtable to garner interest in what CBI could do to further help advisers in our organization who have research requirements at their institutions. One of the possible solutions that resulted from our discussion was a research paper session at future conventions.

Board Blog: Be a leader, not a critic

I’ve been a director at WMUL-FM for three years now and only one person from the original board I was a part of is still here. I’ve seen five different promotions directors, four music directors, and three news directors, along with three different station managers.

I know spring officially just began last week and, for many, you’re just coming off midterm exams/papers and spring break.

Board Blog: Hiring new student leaders

For many of us, the end of the school year is in sight. For student media, that means one group heading out the door and other on its way in. It also means that you’re probably in the process of bringing aboard a new group of student leaders.
