FACT SHEET

School of Journalism and Communication/New Venture Championship

Participation in the NVC
Students in the School of Journalism and Communication sharpen their skills, network, and enhance their portfolios while working on the New Venture Championship in many different capacities.
How it Works

Every year since 2003, the school has offered an advanced advertising class called New Venture Campaigns in which advertising students collaborate with students in the Lundquist College of Business who are planning to enter the competition. Each advertising team creates a media plan for its business team, designs logos for the team's company, creates ads and develops promotional events.

Allen Hall Advertising (AHA), and Allen Hall Public Relations (AHPR), both student-run agencies in the school, serve real clients and also work with the entire New Venture Championship as a client.

Allen Hall Advertising creates the ad campaign for the NVC event each year, including a media kit, program brochures and print ads targeting both students and businesses. Allen Hall Public Relations plays a key role, both in preparation and at the event itself. The agency provides media materials for the event and manages media relations.

In same article, UO psychologist Ellen Peters notes that American investors are spending a lot of time following, especially on TV news, the economic turmoil. Zweig’s column, however, carries the message that those who have some cash and can conquer their stock-phobia may be a good position, likening their potential investments to a venture in emerging markets.

Sense of entitlement? Not in faces at military base, writes UO's Tom Bivins

Tom Bivins UO journalism professor Tom Bivins, sipping coffee and watching youthful faces at San Antonio's Fort Sam Houston, says the often-discussed "sense of entitlement" thought to exist in today's college-aged students was absent among like-aged faces wearing U.S. Army uniforms.
