Ledger

Every year a few students are selected for a study abroad internship to Russia. During the course of the internship the students collaborate with journalism students from Moscow State University to write stories and produce a newspaper.

Submissions will be featured in an upcoming issue of the Ledger, but to learn more about their experiences abroad, the students have created a blog to update during the trip. You can read about their experiences at: uwtzhurnalist.wordpress.com

ASUWT Vice President Ray Shepherd wants to remind students about the upcoming elections in Spring Quarter. Election packets are now available outside the ASUWT office in MAT 103. Voting will take place online April 28-29 with results posted on April 30. Shepherd says voting will continue to be done online due to the success of it last year. The number of voters last year increased from a little over 100 to more than 300 voters.
"I'd like to see 400 to 500 this year," Shepherd said.
