At the Mall of America, Amy Griffith spoke to the group about her work. The students enjoyed her perspective, particularly since she had just recently graduated from college and could give them ideas about job hunting. While there, the group also met Jeff Passolt, a news anchor and another SCSU Mass Communications alumnus. Especially it was nice for international students, who don't often have the opportunity to go to professional firms. I also cherish the opportunity to get together with classmates outside of class.
Adjuncts are an important but sometimes less-noticed part of our teaching team.
They are professionals in the mass communication field with wide experience who bring a fresh perspective to our classrooms. They are hired to teach a specific class or classes each term, as needed, so they are selected specifically for their expertise in the area taught. Al Neff Al Neff has been a staple at SCSU for eight years. Neff was attracted to being an adjunct because it paid better than radio and he enjoys working with young people. He has worked in radio since 1979 and has been affiliated with KVSC since 1981.
