With two days under their belt, day three in New York proved to be just as scholastic as it was entertaining. Some editors were chosen to teach classes at the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Spring Convention at Columbia University with the help of journalism advisor Greg Stobbe.
The day started off early in the morning with a quick breakfast and a trip on the subway to Columbia University. Multi-media anchor Callista Fries and Sports Editor Christopher Grossman taught the first class, ‘Broadcast Your Voice,’ instructing attendees on how to create a podcast and tips on how to stay focused.
Next, Editor-in-Chief Tynin Fries and Senior Editor Viviana Hinajosa taught the second class, ‘Online Workflow,’ helping advisors and students find a good motivation to get work done as well as share how The Feather came to be successful.
Following the Columbia experience for the first time this week the group headed to The Cathedral of St. Johns the Divine , a famous old gothic European cathedral. The group took a vertical tour of the largest cathedral and had the opportunity to see the New York City from the roof.
The group then ate a quick dinner around Times Square and went back to their rooms to freshen up for Disney’s Newsies Broadway show later in the evening. The trip back to the room proved to be an adventure due to the fact that it poured rain and the streets were mildly flooded. Upon their return to the hotel, the staffers separated to their room and went to sleep to rest up for the next day.
