Huntington, WV (HNN) – Marshall University’s W. Page Pitt School of Journalism and Mass Communications (SOJMC) will host a golf scramble at the Twin Silos Golf Course in Lavalette on Thursday, Sept. 23.
 
The purpose of the event is to raise money for equipment needs for the school’s classrooms and teaching labs. It begins at 1 p.m., with late registration starting at noon. The scramble will conclude with a cookout and the announcement of winners and prizes.
 
“The School of Journalism and Mass Communications is a very hands-on program and we try to maintain the most current equipment in our teaching environments,” said Dr. Corley Dennison, SOJMC dean. “With recent budget cuts, we are left to raise much of the money for new equipment.”
 
The school’s student advertising/public relations agency, Out Loud, is organizing the event. Out Loud representatives are seeking players and sponsors to participate.
 
“Our group is working diligently to find participants,” said Tess Moore, an Out Loud member. “We need to find more sponsors and golfers to help make the event a success.”
 
For more information on the J-School Golf Scramble contact Sandy Savage-York, Out Loud adviser, at 304-696-2273 or sandy.york@marshall.edu.
