What is it that you’re doing at school? Have you decided on what you want to major in

yet?

Yes I have! CMAT!

CMAT? What’s that?

Communication Arts, Dad!

You’ll never get a job! I bet you’re only taking that because

it’s easy…

Oh Dad…

“So, Why

CMAT?”

“A Great School for

Communication Majors!!”

Okay, well are they keeping you busy with work to do?

NO PARTYING!

Salisbury is a very club oriented school!

Dr. David Burns

Every college has clubs…what exactly

do you mean by that?

Clubs Are

Go on…

Clubs are run by students, just like me!

Won’t it take away from your

learning in class?

You learn a lot from

upperclassmen

SUTV

Well, where is your proof?

Mike Camillo

Clubs give you a real world experience that

you can’t get in a classroom, and help

build social involvement.

Mike Camillo, Personal Communication, December 4, 2012.

I don’t want to be wasting my

money!

A story I wrote for The Flyer:

A time I was a news anchor at SUTV:

RYAN SEACREST!!

How will you know which one is right for you?

But Dad, that’s what clubs are good for!

What if you have an interest in a field that they don’t have a club

for?

Salisbury’s CMAT department is really open to

establishing new organizations!

Dr. Lori DeWitt

The club (Salisbury Communications

Association) was established based on student interest of having a generalized CMAT club for all tracks of CMAT.

Dr. Lori DeWitt, Personal Communication, December 6, 2012.

Wow, I never knew clubs and

organizations could do that!

That’s because at Salisbury it’s student

driven!

Alright Dad, I have to go. I have an SUTV

meeting!

It’s nice to know you can have a successful

future as a CMAT major!
