From student to teacher: Making the transition with a bachelor’s degree
Saturday April 5, 2025 10:15am - 11:15am PDT
W307
This panel features those who have made a quick turn-around from student to instructor prior to getting a Master’s degree, Ph.D. or other certification. From teaching at high schools to instructing at R1s, our panelists have found a variety of ways to head broadcast & digital media classrooms.

We will discuss the pros, cons, challenges, experiences, anecdotes and anything else relevant that might be helpful to others doing or thinking about doing the same or considering the hire of someone who might check different experience boxes than those on a more traditional pathway.
