Sandspur Goals Freshman

Because the Sandspur has no more issues this year, I want to now focus on the freshman class. I am going to be a peer mentor next year and my class subject is essentially about the history of writing. We go from Oral speech, to books, to Ipads. Well along with the campus media tours I will be doing for my class, I will speak to explorations about requiring a tour for all classes. This is to get their foot in the door and know that RTV, the Sandspur and WPRK do exist. Also when I was a freshman the class had an assignment each week where we have to read a newspaper and write a response or reflection to an article. We will be continuing this assignment and I will advocate that the students should use the Sandspur to get their articles from. This will at least make my students read the sandspur, after that I can encourage them to write for the sandspur and get them extra credit. Hopefully at least one or two of them will like the writing experience and continue to write for it.
