Wednesday was our first meeting of the year, and we had a great turnout!
In case you missed it, CAFME held a pizza party and magazine fair from 8 to 9 p.m. this Wednesday. We saw some familiar faces and a lot of new ones, so we can’t wait to get this year started!
We (Sierra, Nicole, Alyssa, Carson, Ana and Rachel) first introduced ourselves to everyone and described our sponsor, Ed2010. Ed2010 is a group of young magazine journalists and editors who want to learn more about the magazine industry and teach others about it. If you haven’t checked out Ed2010’s website, you should, as it gives a lot of helpful advice about jobs, internships, networking, etc.
Next, we had representatives from many campus publications talk about who they are and why students should join them:
