What a busy couple of weeks it’s been for the Media and Communications Team! Thanks to all of the hard work of Matt, our Advisory Board Liaison, Mock Con has a complete Advisory Board at long last, and Katy and I are ready to spread the news. We’ve been putting together a press release with bios for all twenty members, so be on the lookout for that announcement tomorrow! Heads up, the list has some very impressive people on it. Never have I ever felt so unaccomplished as when I was researching all the cool things our new advisors have done in politics and journalism!

We’ve also been busy placing the Op-Eds our wonderful political team has written. Keep checking the Multimedia page of our website, because as soon as the articles are printed, we’ll link to them so you can see what the insightful Regional Chairs have to say.

And what project are Katy and I most excited about? The Mock Con Minute, a new web series all about Mock Con! Each webisode features an interview with different members of the Steering Committee, telling you all about their job and how they’re working to make 2012 the best convention yet! The biweekly series will be posted on W&L’s homepage, and then on our website as well. The inaugural edition, featuring General Chair Tricia King, will air next week, so be sure to stay on the lookout!

Also, for all the W&L students out there, Katy and I will soon be hiring a historian, videographer, and several other committee members. If you think you’ve got some awesome media skills and want to hang with the most fun members of the Steering Committee, send us an e-mail and tell us why you’re interested. Be on the lookout for an upcoming announcement in Campus Notices for more info!
