Club Ed: Stacey in "USFtv"

Did you know that there are about 100 different student clubs that you can get involved in here at USF? For those of you who are new to the blog, this category, “Club Ed” is designed to highlight our majors who are involved in these different clubs and how you can get involved in them too. I was quite pleased with the name, until I was told that the cafeteria in the School of Education was also called Club Ed. But that’s okay. I still like it. (You get it, right?). Anyway, on to our first “Club Ed” for the semester! Today we are featuring junior Communication Studies major Stacey Johnston and her work with our campus TV station, USFtv!

COMS major and USFtv Submissions Coordinator and Commercial Producer Stacey

I asked Stacey to tell us about USFtv: “USFtv is a 100% student run television station that plays on-campus and online. We currently have producers specifically for Culture, News, Sports, and Talks but students can get involved in a number of ways. The best thing about USFtv is that if you have an idea and the determination to make it happen, we can make it work for you. Where else can you just walk in and a couple weeks later have your own scheduled show?!

No prior experience is needed because we have training sessions for those who don’t have experience with video. We always can use more help, and we have plenty of members who don’t mind teaching.”

This year Stacey serves on the executive board of USFtv. I asked her to tell us more about her position and how she got involved. “I applied to be on the E-Board last year, and this year I am the Submissions Coordinator and Commercial Producer. It’s a mouthful of a title, but basically my job as Submissions Coordinator is to find student films to screen every Friday at 8pm.  This allows for the broader USF community to see work being produced in classes and personal time that wouldn’t otherwise be put on USFtv. I also process New Show Proposals and help to find new members a job they like.

The Commercial Producer position is new this year and I take requests by other USF clubs/organizations to advertise or showcase what they do and what they’re about.  It serves as a way of building a connection with other clubs as well as a stronger presence within the USF community.”
