Eight Westminster College senior broadcast communications majors will showcase their capstone projects Monday, April 25, from 10:30 a.m.-7:30 p.m. in various areas of the McKelvey Campus Center.
The final component of Liberal Studies at Westminster is a senior capstone course, which is at least a four-semester-hour course within the major designed to provide an opportunity for students to evaluate and assess the strengths and limitations of their major field.
At 10:30 a.m. students will unveil the broadcast communications capstone display located on the second floor hallway near Westminster Cable Network studios. At 11:30 a.m. Sebastian Salazar-Driver and Sarah Ubry make their presentations in the Mueller Theater.
"My presentation will focus on some of the projects I completed last semester," Ubry said. "One of my stories about the last milkman in Lawrence County was published in The Herald and the New Castle News. I also turned this story into a three-part series for the campus radio station. I will also report on my current internship with the McKelvey Foundation Newsletter I help to produce."
From 12:30-2:30 p.m., the Titan radio station will broadcast live from the Campus Center. The remote truck will be open for tours, and everyone is invited to sign a time capsule message book.

"I will play clips from newscasts, radio shifts, commercials, and promotions I've produced at those stations as well as from Titan Radio Digital 88.9 FM, especially my three-year running morning show, Pat and Megan in the Morning.' I'll also show some of my television reporting experience through stories I've done on our weekly television news magazine The County Line.'"
