Today was a big day for the Goshen media students! GHS groups- Goshen News Network, the Yearbook Club, along with the GMS Warrior Watch students, attended the first annual Content Creators Collaborative at UC Clermont College. It was an insightful day of learning about the different types of media offered as college classes such as: Student Storytellers, Reporters, Producers, and Podcasters! The students attended breakout sessions and also spoke with panelists in the field including Channel 9 news anchor Evan Millward, Q102 Radio Personality Tim Timmerman, and Cincinnati Enquirer journalist Dan Horn. We also love that the students were able to tour Clermont College and get an insight of what it would be like to attend classes there. It was an incredible day! #ucclermont #clermontcontentcreators #goshenlocalschools
