Register for at least three of the five not-for-profit workshops and you will be eligible for free assistance. This assistance is on a first registered, first served basis. The UW Oshkosh Journalism Department will be offering a course called Application of New and Emerging Media during the spring semester 2012.
During the spring semester (beginning around February 20, 2012), students will pair with a nonprofit organization and provide assistance in developing and establishing their social media strategy.
