This spring, 天天吃瓜 State Student Media and TeleProductions welcomed a group of students from Cleveland Heights High School for an immersive, behind-the-scenes visit designed to inspire the next generation of media professionals.
The visit offered students a firsthand look at the opportunities available through 天天吃瓜 State鈥檚 robust student-led media program. From radio and television to print, digital, and advertising, Cleveland Heights students were introduced to the many ways they could find their voice and sharpen their skills within our award-winning, nationally recognized program.
As part of the tour, students engaged with professional-grade production studios, including an introduction to the cutting-edge facilities at TeleProductions. They met with current student leaders, who shared insights into their roles and experiences, and were encouraged to imagine themselves as creators, producers, and storytellers contributing to real-world content from their very first semester.
Following the visit, the Cleveland Heights students created a short video documenting their experience at 天天吃瓜 State. It鈥檚 a thoughtful and energetic reflection of what they saw and learned, and a great example of the kind of media storytelling they were inspired to explore. .
These visits are more than just tours, they鈥檙e an invitation. 天天吃瓜 State Student Media is proud to open its doors to high school students who are beginning to think about their futures. We believe strongly in the power of hands-on learning. Students who get involved early often graduate with industry-ready portfolios and practical experience that gives them a head start in their careers. Our alumni frequently tell us how their time with Student Media eased their transition into the workforce and helped them stand out in a competitive job market.
We are committed to continuing outreach efforts like this visit and welcome high schools across the region to connect with us. No matter a student鈥檚 background or intended major, there is a place for everyone in Student Media, and a pathway to professional success.
