Impression from Nora Shkodra
- Past President of Broadcast and Film Club -
When
I first went to Madonna, I was very interested in joining the Broadcast
Club. I was voted a vice-president right-away. I was very happy and
couldn’t wait till next year so I could run for president. I have to
admit that since I was an international student, at first I hesitated
to do so. Professor Chuck Derry encouraged me to run. So I did; and I
won. That’s when my adventures begun.
I was
heavily involved with the Emmy Award winner documentary of the life of
Pablo Davis that the previous presidents have started and never got to
finish. I organized meeting twice a week and helped with production and
post production as much as I could. I took it upon myself to finish
this project that lasted for years, and I did it. I tried encouraging
everyone to work as much as possible, and it would have never been done
without everybody’s help. That was definitely the highlight of my
presidency. After the project was done, there was the screening of
Pablo Davis documentary, and it turned out to be a very successful
night.
I also organized a NATAS meeting, a
day that ended up being simply amazing. We learned a lot, had fun and
got to meet some important faces that later helped me get my internship
at Channel 7 Action News. Being president of MU Broadcast Club was a
tough but very fulfilling position. I learned a lot and got involved in
so many events and productions that otherwise I wouldn’t have been able
to. Although it was time consuming, it definitely paid off. My resume
got more and more impressive each time that I got involved with any
event. I believe I owe my current job to Broadcast Club; because the
owner was really impressed with all the curricular activities that I
had done while at Madonna.
If you are a
member of Broadcast Club, don’t ever stop being part of it, even if it
seems like it’s getting overwhelming at times. You will create some of
your best memories of your school year.
