Join Sonar Events society for real-world experiences
Your time in university is a crucial period for us to get the knowledge and experience possible that prepares us for our future careers. Joining societies can be a fantastic way how to make the most out of it. It is a great platform to network with like-minded people and learn new skills.
I recently had a chance to talk to Kaitlynn Robinson, a second-year Media Production student and member of the Sonar Events Society. Sonar is a very popular society among the creative fields in our university and Kaitlynn described it as an excellent experience. She previously focused on broadcasting and was searching for an experience in live events and Sonar offers a combination of both which allowed her to gain more experience and broaden her skillset.
Kaitlynn has been involved in various Sonar projects, such as basketball game broadcasting, live events, assessments for theatre or Nasta broadcasts. She spoke about the valuable skills that she gained however the most valuable skill was during her experience as an EVS operator for a basketball game. This hands-on experience helped her develop skills that she wouldn't be able to gain in the classroom.
If you are interested in a career pathway in live events or broadcasting, gaining experience in this environment is essential. This experience is very hands-on, and you are surrounded by people with the same interest as you. Joining a society like Sonar Events could be valuable for Media Production students it is a chance to work on real-world projects that can be added to your portfolio, and it is an excellent opportunity to develop new skills, gain practical experience and make new connections in your field.
Are you part of Sonar Events or any other society? Or are you thinking about joining one now? How is your experience?
