Halliday's talk will take place on Thursday, 25 February.

Halliday's work on habeas corpus informed the U.S. Supreme Court's Boumediene v. Bush (2008), and his forthcoming book on the subject from Harvard University Press

[http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog/HALHAB.html] will be out later this month.

The panel will be held Thursday, February 11th in Bentley 140 from 6-8pm

The panelists will discuss the following:

-What you learned from the internship.

-What you wish you'd known before you started the internship

-How your education helped make you successful.

There will be a question/answer period following. Some questions that were answered last year were: How did you get the internship? How did you adapt to living in a strange city? Was there an interview? What were some of the challenges? Would you do this again?

Tina will also take some time in the beginning to discuss the application time lines for scholarship opportunities as well as the upcoming Today Show and Procter & Gamble exclusive opportunities.

This was popular event last year. It's a great way for us to hear from students in different majors and for freshman and sophomores to get some advice before they start applying for internships in the future.

We believe we can have the most impact by focusing our efforts on two areas: developing educational programs that engage students outside the classroom, and providing scholarship opportunities for both students and their home institution.

To accomplish both objectives and provide a framework to organize our efforts, we have established the Washington Media Scholars Program.

This three part program includes: the Washington Media Plan Case Competition, Media Scholars Week and a Networking Reception.

Washington Media Plan Case Competition

In the spring of 2010, the WMSF will host its first annual Washington Media Plan Case Competition. Although the competition is designed for students pursuing a degree in mass communications, marketing, journalism, or political science, all enrolled students attending a college or university in the United States are eligible and welcome to participate. This program is an opportunity for student teams to create a comprehensive strategic media plan framed around a pre-determined, hypothetical public policy issue. Each two-person team will start the competition with the same set of case materials, deliverables and guidelines, and will build an integrated media plan for the public affairs issue.

The Washington Media Plan Case Competition is intended to give students a taste of public policy media strategy, research and management. !here can be more than one competing team entered per school, but only one case can be submitted per team. Each case will be judged on the same published rubric.

Six teams (12 students total) will be selected as finalists in the competition and named National Excellence in Media Scholars. These six teams will participate in Media Scholars Week in Washington, DC. All transportation, lodging, and related expenses will be paid for by the program.

Media Scholars Week & Networking Reception

The twelve finalists of the Washington Media Plan Case Competition will participate in Media Scholars Week to be held in Washington, DC. Media Scholars Week will offer a collaborative learning experience for the student teams and unprecedented access as it combines meetings with key industry leadership, classroom instruction, site visits and presentations from leading media firms and media organizations, including strategists, planners, researches and buyers. throughout the week, finalists will have significant opportunity to network with all parties they meet and will be encouraged to do so.

Each team will have the opportunity to apply what it learns during the week in final preparation to compete for the National Excellence in Media Award and Scholarship. The week will culminate with each team presenting to a distinguished panel of industry leaders, who will judge the presentations and determine a winner. The winning team will be announced later that night at a reception, where the winners will be recognized with the National Excellence in Media Award.

Importantly, in addition to the National Excellence in Media Award, both members of the winning team will be awarded a cash prize and the WSMF will make a matching contribution to the scholarship fund of their school.

The reception presents another excellent networking opportunity for the student teams, as well as for all those in attendance, and marks the official end of Media Scholars Week.

For the past eight years, hundreds of undergraduate, graduate and medical students have gathered at the Convo to present their original work at Ohio University’s annual Student Research and Creative Activity Expo. Projects have included documentary filmmaking, robotic lawn mowers and innovative theater costumes, as well as presentations on the latest findings from areas such as the social sciences, medicine, education, astrophysics and environmental science.

The university invites students from all disciplines and campuses to participate. Registration is now open, and students must enroll by Sunday, March 21, online at www.ohio.edu/studentexpo.

Participants have the choice of giving a 10-minute presentation to a panel of judges. Top prizes of $100 and $300 are awarded in each category organized by discipline. This year, the university will offer a total of more than $18,000 in prizes.

Students, faculty members, administrators, community members and middle school and high school students are encouraged to attend the event to learn about Ohio University student research and to give feedback to the presenting students.

“The event gives students a chance to get their work out there,” said expo organizer Roxanne Malé-Brune. “Presenters become peer mentors to fellow students, which then leads more students to participate.”

The large venue helps provide a comfortable and fun atmosphere for the students.

“Research tends to be intimidating to students,” said Malé-Brune, director of grant development and special projects for the Graduate College. “This is an opportunity for them to test-drive their career through a faculty-mentored project in a fun way. They can think about their futures and see if they are going in the right direction.”

Last spring, more than 550 students participated in the event. The atmosphere and success of the expo continue to bring students and faculty judges back for more, year after year.

As a volunteer judge for the past two years, Eric Stinaff, assistant professor in the department of physics and astronomy, said that he looks forward to the event.

“This is truly a unique event where I have the opportunity to interact with people from every area at Ohio University,” Stinaff said. “It's a great platform for the university to showcase the impressive amount and quality of research and creative activity not just internally, but to the community as a whole.”

The ninth annual Student Research and Creative Activity Expo will be held from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 13.

The event is sponsored by the Office of the Vice President for Research and Dean of the Graduate College, Office of the President and Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost.

For more information about the Student Research and Creative Activity Expo, or for information about registration, please contact Roxanne Malé-Brune at male-bru@ohio.edu or 740-597-1227.
