The last quarter of 2009 has been busy for the
Desert State Regional Section. In October there
was a great workshop for students, How to Market Yourself.
The presenters represented a cross section from
the community of educators and professionals. Rebecca Marks shared
her experiences as a recent college graduate and what tools she has
used to obtain employment. The board thanked Scottsdale Community
College and everyone who made this event possible.
There
is still time for students to enter the Student
Award Program. This award is given for excellence in design, technical
production and stage management. Each recipient will be given a full
conference pass to the 2010 USITT Annual Conference & Stage Expo in Kansas City,
Missouri and a National Student Membership for one year. For additional
information, including submission address and details, go to www.desertstate.usitt.org.
The deadline is December 11.
