Class Notes
January
12 I-COMM Introduction / John Thompson
Being involved is extremely important. I-Comm gives you the chance to get
experience, through the planning and the organization that goes into the event
. But at the end of all your hard work you have this wonderful chance to learn
and network and see the fruits of working on. The more that you are involved
with I-Comm the more it will give back to you. Become more involved. At I-Comm
it will give you good practice putting yourself in front of people and becoming
more hirable.
19 News/ Journalism / Lane Williams
Journalists are not only the people that write the
newspapers. In reality they are the people that are out there to bring everyone
the truth. Sadly it’s becoming such a way that a lot of people are only
reporting horrid things. But the journalists that make a difference are the
ones that write stories that inspire us and help us want to do more good in the
world. Participating in the Scroll will help you to develop your skills in
writing and editing. Also articles of yours will be published and that is
always a good thing.
26 Video Production
/ Brian Howard / Ron Weekes
Video production is becoming more and more valuable now
days. Because everyone can now access the internet via their laptop, tablets,
or even their phones, short clips are more and more viewed today than ever. If
you have the skill to create good, and short videos that convey the right
message; that is highly sought for, because it’s becoming a wonderful form of
communication. Start learning the skills it takes to be able to do that, because
it will make you more valuable to a company if you can. Start watching podcasts
and looking up all the latest trends in video production. Take advantage of all
the nice equipment here on campus.
February
2 Public Relations/PRSSA –
Ward Hicks / Michael Cannon
If there is any time that a company needs to convey
information to either their employees of to the general public there needs to
be a public relations officer. Weather there needs to be a problem solved
within the company or out of the company, having a person that is highly skilled
in proper communication is necessary to keep the workplace running smoothly.
16 Visual Communication / Caryn Esplin
Visual communication is becoming a very important skill for
every valuable employee to have. Although I do not think that it would be the
only thing that I would like to study during my college career I do believe that
being well rounded is a huge advantage to have when it comes to employment. If you
have a large background in visual communication, and have some training in web
design and layout, it will make you more hirable. In this field you need to be
innovative, and competitive.
23 Academic Discovery Center / Tyler
Christensen
The school offers you every opportunity to be successful.
There are hosts of advisors out there that will bend over backwards to make
sure that you understand how you can succeed, and make it to graduation . The
most important thing that the academic discovery center offers is the academic
advising center, and the Grad Plan. It is the easiest and most efficient way
for you to be able to set goals and make plans about your schooling. Take advantage
of the workshops that the school offers, because they are going to teach you
skills that are needed in the workplace.

Getting There From Here / Lee Warnick
It’s important to make sure that
you are motivated. The things that you are doing now are important. Staying in
touch with what is going on in the world is key, networking is important, and
reading even if its fiction will keep you sharp. Being tenacious in your activities
will pay positive dividends, and if you take seriously the things that you are
learning right now, like the dress and grooming standards, you can turn the
things that you learn in school into money making tools and skills.

President Philip G. Lawyer
Release of: Elder Jordan Scott
King
Dear President Lawyer,
Elder Jordan Scott King will
return home on or about August 22 2011having honorably completed his missionary
service in the Washington Seattle Mission. I have enclosed a certificate of
release for you to give to Elder King. Please share our deepest respect and
warmest wishes with him following your interview, and assure him that Sister
Larkin and I love him very much and will miss him deeply.
Elder King will always hold a
special place in the hearts of both Sister Larkin and I. During much of our
time together, he served as one of our Zone Leaders and we worked very closely with
him. He was one of our finest missionaries. Elder King always served with great
honor and dignity and was a magnificent leader. He motivated the entire mission
to work with greater urgency and to expect miracles and blessings from our Father
in Heaven. In addition to being a Zone Leader, he also served as a district
leader and in the sacred role of Trainer to a new missionary.
Elder King has truly been an
ensign to our mission. Many times I have heard him share a powerful testimony
of the restored gospel, and I have witnessed his deep and abiding faith in our savior
Jesus Christ. He exhibited a remarkable love for the people he served and I know
that his ministry here in the Washington Seattle Mission has changed the lives
of many people forever. I am confident that he now returns home very well
prepared for a long and successful life
of service to our Father in Heaven. We hope that you will find immediate
opportunities for him to bear his testimony and to continue his service in
building the Kingdom of God.
Again thank you for sending Elder
King to us. We have challenged him to continue building his life upon
principles of the restored gospel and to remain sanctified and a true disciple of
Jesus Christ. May the choicest blessings of our Father in Heaven be with him
always.
Sincerely,
President
Todd S. Larkin
