The singer Terrance and Leon Allen, trumpet player, perform during the Columbia College Association of Black Journalist annual Media Mixer, held last Tuesday, April 17, in the Hokin Gallery.
Students can ask questions to informally network with the professionals.
One of the Chicago media professionals who attended the mixer was Rob Hess, from CNN radio. Hess said that he thought the mixer was a great way for students to get to know professionals. It s important to make connections now, he said. Hess said he saw lots of potential for future journalists at the mixer. Anyone committed enough to organize programs like this on a regular basis, and constantly generate members has potential, he said.
