Club Advisor Appreciation Post

My lovely people,

Surely many of us are unfamiliar with Improv Club's Club Advisor ("We have a Club Advisor?!"), so here's a bit of information I thought might interest you:

Our Club Advisor is Wendy Wagoner, and she teaches Broadcast Performance (read: voice acting) here at Cuesta. It is an online class, BCST 227, and she takes her students through many exercises and scripts to build skills, confidence, and also to produce voice overs to be proud of. She is very dedicated to her students and the course.

As a part of the course, she runs an online radio station (read: opportunity to get on the air)! She also has connections at KGUR, our Cuesta radio station, so there's plenty of opportunity to reach the public once we get some material "on tape."

In addition, we will stop by the reprographics department and meet this wonderful Advisor of ours next Tuesday (10/27), so we can all get acquainted.

That's all for now, folks!
