Association of Black Communicators
The Association of Black Communicators at VCU was founded in the fall of 2002 after a few students felt the need to start an organization for Mass Communications minorities to develop skills and learn more about internships and job opportunities in their unique fields.
Since the organizations founding, membership has grown and many charter members have commenced and started wonderful careers. ABC organizes monthly workshops that include resume writing, internship opportunities, and tours of local stations. The Association of Black Communicators is always looking for new members or those who would like to volunteer.
During the entire month of February, the organization will be hosting a breakfast with Tim Reid and going to Channel 12 for a tour of the newsroom. ABC will also be co-sponsoring with the VCU Chapter of NAACP for the Sista Souljah Lecture/Book Signing.
For more information on the organization, you can email Ashlee Thomas, President, at thomasav@mail1.vcu.edu. The organization is advised by Dr. Clarence Thomas and Ms. Bonnie Davis.
