A message from Jamie

I would like increased coverage on the following departments here at ACC for the Accent:
- Physics, Astronomy
- Culinary Arts
- Radio, Film, Television
- Child Development
- Music
We haven’t been writing much on these departments. I would like to know if any staff writer is perhaps majoring in any of these and has interest in writing on upcoming events that will be occurring.
I know Spring Break will be coming up soon but feel free to email me with suggestions on possible story ideas - editor3@austincc.edu

Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.
