Meet the 2016-2017 Executive Board!

It is with great pleasure that we present to you the 2016-2017 ONA Mizzou executive board!

President: Rose McManus

@rosemcms

Hello, my name is Rose McManus, and I am the president of ONA Mizzou. I am an Ohio native currently pursuing a master's degree in convergence journalism at the University of Missouri in Columbia. 

In the past, I have worked for the Kansas City Star, POLITICO Europe, and the Columbia Missourian. I am known for wearing lots of black and being a little obsessive about Instagram. In my free time, I can be found at a coffee shop or exploring the Midwest on my road bike.

Why ONA Mizzou

By ONA Mizzou Executive Board

Each year, ONA Mizzou elects new members to its executive board, and this year, all six executive board members are graduating seniors, which means we are looking for six fresh faces to lead the organization.

On Thursday, April 14 at 6 p.m. in Middlebush 13 we will elect a new executive board, and we encourage anyone interested to submit an application.

ONA Mizzou is a student club, but it means so much more than that to each of our executive board members. All six of us have served on the board for the past two years. During that time, we have held digital workshops on everything from FOIA requests to drone journalism to digital portfolios, and this spring we brought storyteller Jessica Abel to campus.

It's that time of year—ONA Mizzou exec elections are here!

If you've been anticipating a run at the ONA Mizzou executive board, the wait is almost over. On April 14, we will be hosting our annual elections to pick the 2016-2017 executive board.

Serving on this board is a wonderful opportunity to gain leadership experience related to your career field, while helping to contribute valuable digital journalism resources for other students.

Elections are coming!

As the school year is (slowly) winding to an end, it's once again time to elect a new ONA Mizzou executive board. As president, I have loved the experience and the opportunities ONA has given me. I've gotten to meet and work with some really awesome journalists and people, and gotten to know everyone on the board better. And let me tell you, they are some pretty great people.

It's that time of year again: Final exams lurk in the near future, summer can't come soon enough and ONA Mizzou is looking for its next batch of student leaders.

Student leaders are in charge of the club's events from the first brainstorming session to putting the chairs back after everyone has left.

This year, our events included topics like web analytics and our guests included former New York Times reporter Brian Stelter, who now is the senior media correspondent for CNN. We also hosted a hands-on tutorial on building custom Google maps and offered portfolio site reviews.

Anyone who has attended at least one of our events is welcome to come hear the candidates' speeches and then cast a vote.

When: 6 p.m. on Thursday, May 1
Where: Palmer Room (100A Reynolds Journalism Institute)

April means prime election season. But not just for national politics - for ONA Mizzou, too! If you've ever been interested in working behind the scenes for ONA Mizzou, this is your chance to get involved and take the reigns.

ONA Mizzou student leaders plan and coordinate events (like elections coverage with political pros), create awesome blog series (see Letters Home) while managing a finely tuned social media plan (check out our Facebook and Twitter). Who knows - next year's student leaders could come up with and do even more.

Candidates for the executive board need to be creative, interested in online news media and able to commit a little time each week to ensuring ONA Mizzou is operating at it's fullest potential.

Four spots on the exec board are up for grabs! If one of these strikes you, fill out an application and attend the elections meeting held at 5 p.m. on April 19 in 100A RJI (Palmer Room).
