Campus Media

The University of St. Francis prides itself not only on great academic achievements but also great opportunities for its students to get involved. USF’s writers, music lovers and broadcast journalists help produce The Encounter, WCSF 88.7 FM and the USF TV Club.

 

The College of Arts & Sciences Podcast, produced by USF’s Communication & Media Arts Department and Dean Beth McDermott, is for current and prospective students who want to know a little more about College of Arts & Sciences (CAS) majors. A different academic program is featured in each episode, with faculty discussing program offerings and sharing fun information about how they got started, what they have to offer students, and where they see their disciplines heading in the future.

Student staff members produce a printed student news magazine called USF Encounter, which is published each month and distributed throughout USF’s three campuses in Joliet. “USF Encounter Online” is a frequently updated website produced by the staff and other USF students.

USF TV Club

The USF TV Club provides an atmosphere for students wishing to get involved in club activities, enhance their television production skills, and gain personal satisfaction. The club provides quality programming and service to USF and for many years entertained the greater Joliet community by producing the Exploring Joliet cable TV show.
