School of Journalism and Media hosts JAM Fest

The School of Journalism and Media held its first JAM Fest celebration in Fall 2023. Featuring information stations staffed by student groups and UK student media, cool JAM swag, a drone demonstration, and pizza and soft drinks, JAM Fest gave current students in journalism and media arts and studies as well as undecided majors the chance to meet with School faculty and learn about the wide range of courses offered by the School and career choices in mass media industries.

Student representatives from WRFL-FM, the Society of Professional Journalists campus chapter, the National Association of Black Journalists campus chapter, the CI Gamers club, KRNL Lifestyle and Fashion Magazine and the Kentucky Kernel promoted their organization and encouraged students to sign up as new members.

With the success of JAM Fest ’23, The School plans on making JAM Fest an annual event every fall.
