How to get ahead in advertising was the message of guest speakers at the Public Relations Student Society of America event last month.

Patricia Annlcchlarlco, creative director at Castells & Asociados, and Huw Griffith, CEO at M&C Saatchi, both shared encouraging words and stories about their experiences in the industry with a small group of California State University, Dominguez Hills students and faculty.

During the April 22 event, both speakers focused on the knowledge needed to get into the ad business, and the creativity one must obtain to stay competitive.

Hundreds of students along with faculty and media packed the Loker Student Union Ballroom to attend the recent Student Research Day Symposium.

Thirteen students who conducted research studies and projects were given the opportunity to share their findings and results. Provost Ramon Torrecilha, CSUDH Interim President Willie Hagan and CSU Chancellor Timothy White attended the symposium.

The Male Success Alliance of California State University Dominguez Hills will host its annual summit this week.

The alliance is a task force charged by the president to explore the access, retention and graduation issues confronting males at CSUDH.

The purpose of the conference is to build awareness of the challenges and successes of males of color in high school and college. More than 500 young men from local middle and high schools and about 200 Dominguez Hills’ faculty members, staff members and students are expected to attend.

The campus radio station is looking for approval to relocate to an empty study room near the bookstore in the Loker Student Union.

The Board of Directors will be making a decision that has been pending for quite some time.
KDHR has been trying to move into this space for about a year, since discussions about the vacant study space began, said Stephen Janes, KDHR’s station manager.

One of the road blocks for KDHR is their current contract with the library, which does not expire until 2016.
