School of Communications students Sarah Stone ’19 and Emery Eisner ’22 visited The Burlington School on April 29, reflecting on their experiences serving on the yearbook staff and offering insights on how their college publication comes together.
Beyond the enjoyment and the sense of community Phi Psi Cli has provided her, Sarah Stone ’19 explained one additional benefit will soon come from her time working on Elon’s student-run yearbook: a great portfolio piece when she applies for jobs.
Accompanied by Adviser Tommy Kopetskie and News Editor Emery Eisner ’22, Stone discussed several subjects relating to yearbooks, the transition from high school to college, and the communications industry in general. Additionally, the trio fielded additional questions from the high school students.
Eisner, a journalism and political science double major, was recently elected editor-in-chief for the 2020 Phi Psi Cli book.
Phi Psi Cli’s classroom visit came together thanks to an invitation from Chris Rash, The Burlington School’s director of communications and yearbook adviser. The independent pre-kindergarten to 12th grade college preparatory school is located just a few miles from Elon University's campus.
Phi Psi Cli won a Best of Show award in February at the 2019 North Carolina College Media Association conference and placed seventh in an Associated Collegiate Press competition last fall.
