Radio-Television students Gabrielle Ntsimi and Brittney Edwards
Two RT students in the media industries sequence from this Fall's programming class have been accepted as interns for the National Association of Television Programming Executives (NATPE) international conference in Miami this coming January. Gabrielle Ntsimi and Brittney Edwards were selected from among hundreds of applicants who are studying the electronic media at universities throughout the nation. Interns help with information distribution, registration, seminar seating, publications distribution and other assignments that make the meeting go smoothly. The NATPE Educational Foundation pays the cost of conference registration, provides meals and covers the cost of housing at the Fontainebleu, Miami Beach for one week in January 2011, but the students are responsible for their own travel arrangements. The conference is not open to the public thus the student interns receive a unique, behind-the-scenes view of the television industry. Interns put in long hours but each student has an all access pass to the conference.
