Students not interested in earning college credit are invited to join the staff as writers, photographers, or business staffers. Advertising sales representatives can earn 20 percent commission on accounts they sell and service. Finally, a limited number of work-study positions are available each semester for those who qualify. The yearbook covers all aspects of college life through both color and black and white photography, in-depth interviews, feature stories, and enlightening articles. Working for the Griffon is a learning experience.
Students apply what they have learned in their classrooms to the actual production.
Students who want to become journalists learn first hand what journalism is all about. The Griffon staff is led by a student editor who has had several years' experience in yearbook production. Editors and staff work together to produce a high-quality, professional publication. The staff is assisted by a faculty adviser. All Griffon staff members receive two hours of academic credit.
