People around the world are flocking to theaters to watch the first movie based on "The Hunger Games" book series.  The movie premiered in State College at midnight on Friday, March 23.

Tory Wuycheck, senior-broadcast journalism, just finished reading the first book last week, and she is very excited about the movie premiere.  Despite only having to wait a week for the movie after reading the book, she said she felt like it was "the longest week ever" in anticipation for the premiere.

Graduate / Visual Journalism

I am a senior majoring in visual journalism with a minor in Sociology. After my internship with the local radio station (B94.5/WBHV-FM), I went on to become a producer for the same station. I am one of the few responsible for kicking off a morning show for a sister station (Eagle 98.7/WEMR-FM). Working with the State College local radio stations has taught me to be a part of a professional team. I learned to work with a switch board, produce news worthy content to be read on air, and work with editing software such as Cool Edit Pro 2.0. My radio experience has opened doors for me and has helped me advance to my ultimate goal of being a producer in either the film, music, or radio industry.
