360-degree exploration of J&PR's "secret spaces"

The Mac Lab

Posted on December 1, 2017 at 12:00 PM

J&PR students are lucky to have three spaces they can call their own on the Chico State.

The Mac lab, The Orion newspaper headquarters and the Tehama Group Communications office are cornerstones to student development.

From class projects to internships required before graduation, news and PR majors use these spaces to build skills needed for life after graduation.

In order to create high-end content, students need high-end equipment that is usually out of grasp from a college student’s budget.

Thanks to donations to the J&PR department, these three “secret spaces” are equipped with Mac desktops, printers, cameras and much more.

Everything down to the ink cartridges are available for student use.

Take a peek inside the walls that hold countless hours of student work, even into the late night hours.
