At Sunday’s FallFest, we hope you were able to stop by our booth near Hooker Fields. Luckily, we had a great turnout despite the scary lightning and thunder. Carson, Nicole and Ana worked the first shift, while Sierra, Alyssa and I worked the second shift. We answered questions for any interested and curious students, and we passed out CAFME buttons (we hope you got one!) and flyers. Alyssa brought delicious homemade lemon cupcakes for us, and two people even stopped by to ask if they could have some! As usual, even if you’re working FallFest, you’re never bored: we were located right across from the dance clubs, so needless to say, we were kept entertained!
The J-school’s annual convocation was on Monday, and CAFME was also there to meet interested students. We again had a terrific turnout. We shared a table with the UNC-CH branch of Her Campus, an online college women’s magazine. Many other campus publications and media organizations were also there:
The Daily Tar Heel
Blue & White
Carolina Scientific
The Hill
The Well-Being
The Pursuit (formerly Virtuous Woman but is now targeted toward women and men)
Uncharted
Rival Magazine
Carolina PRSSA
The Carolina Association of Black Journalists
Overall, it was a successful weekend, and we hope you had a chance to talk to us at FallFest, convocation or both! Don’t forget that our first meeting is next Wednesday, August 31, from 8 to 9 p.m. We’ll be having a pizza party and magazine fair, so be sure to stop by!
