Writers on the Storm
Writers on the Storm became a club in the 1991-92 school year. The goal of Writers on
the Storm is to expand experience and understanding of the media. We visit local media,
meet with others who are involved with media, and attend events concerned with media. Our
major event during our first year was a media forum. We invited members of the local media
and local political leaders to discuss their relationship in a panel discussion. The next
year, Writers on the Storm continued to tour local media and organized another media
forum. This forum's focus was on censorship. We have participated in events sponsored by
the Society of Professional Journalism, including winning two awards. Writers on the Storm
also sponsored a very successful voter registration drive, enabling over 200 students,
faculty, and staff to register for fall elections.
