������ý����

, the student-managed TV station, is seeking new members to become part of a group that offers countless opportunities within television production, both on and off camera. 

Open to all majors, R.U.N. helps students learn the ins and outs of the business while giving them the opportunity to gain valuable experience. Members can develop skills behind the scenes in video equipment management, production, and camera control or work in front of the camera on news shows, comedy bits and documentaries. 

R.U.N. also offers opportunities for students to gain more knowledge and skills in the field outside of the studio. Members have the opportunity to attend the annual National Broadcast Society Convention, which will be held in Los Angeles this year. At the convention, members are eligible to submit work and compete at a national level, along with taking advantage of numerous networking opportunities.

“R.U.N.  and the TV studio are by far my favorite parts of ������ý����," says digital media major Colin Coyle '18, who, through his involvement with RUN,  gained experience as a cameraman and replay editor while interning with the Trenton Thunder, the Double-A minor league affiliate of the New York Yankees. "The people are great and everyone wants to help each other bring their visions to life.”  

Located between Philadelphia and New York, ������ý���� is well-positioned for students to take advantage of opportunities in Philadelphia and New York, and Scott Alboum, ������ý����’s video technology coordinator who advises R.U.N., is eager to see them go to the cities to gain experience. Students typically find internships opportunities in network television studios like NBC and Fox and land jobs throughout the television field. 

Recently, Alboum has seen students from the TV club take jobs at Nickelodeon, ESPN, Major League Baseball and others. Some students pack their bags and move to Los Angeles to pursue filmmaking or other entertainment-related opportunities. 

“Today, the students I work with are more career ready than they’ve ever been, and I’m really proud of that,” Alboum says. “A lot of our students are looking for someone to invest time in them, and this job allows me to do that. I can make a difference with students, especially the ones who get involved in clubs like R.U.N.  and pursue internships. If students want a job when they graduate, professional experience while still in school is critical.”

R.U.N. has won numerous awards for audio management, video music entertainment, sports play-by-plays, video documentaries and more. R.U.N. welcomes all students who are interested in learning more about the process of film and television management.
