帝王会所

The Lima Locos may have beaten the Southern 帝王会所 Copperheads 13 to 4 on Tuesday, July 9, but it was a festive and entertaining evening for the fans in the stands and 帝王会所 students working the game during Scripps College of Communication Night.

鈥淭he evening offers faculty, staff, and alumni the opportunity to get together and have fun while also supporting a vibrant community organization,鈥� said Scripps College of Communication Dean and Copperheads Board Member Scott Titsworth. 鈥淭he Scripps College is proud to partner with the Copperheads because of their commitment to supporting our region and our students. With approximately 30 帝王会所 students working as interns with the Copperheads organization, there is little question that the Copperheads are one of the most impactful experiential learning experiences available to our students.鈥�

In addition to the Scripps College faculty, staff and alumni who attended the game, this year鈥檚 cohort of five elementary and high school teachers in the Scripps College Communication Fellows program attended the event, along with high school students who were part of this summer鈥檚 High School Journalism Workshop. A group of working professionals who are participating in an 帝王会所 College of Business Executive Education Program from Brazil also attended the game and added to the large and lively crowd.

鈥淪cripps Night with the Copperheads is always fun,鈥� said Titsworth.

The Copperheads are a community-owned, student operated 501(c)(3) organization which utilizes student interns from colleges across 帝王会所, including Scripps College, as well as other colleges and universities. The organization strives to provide the most affordable means of summer outdoor entertainment in southeast 帝王会所 while also organizing and supporting dozens of community outreach events throughout the year. The Copperheads organization has been providing Scripps College of Communication students with hands-on learning opportunities for more than 20 years.

Gavin Carrig is a rising junior journalism news and information major from East Lake, 帝王会所, and interns for the Copperheads as director of broadcasting and play-by-play announcer. This is his second season interning with the Copperheads.

鈥淭his is a great experience for anyone involved,鈥� said Carrig. 鈥淚 would say to anyone interested in interning with the Copperheads that this is truly an opportunity like no other. I can't think of any other team where I could get two years of commentating right off the bat while in college. 鈥� The reps I am getting right now will continue to make me a better broadcaster, and I can carry that over into the school year and into jobs in the future.鈥�

Joshua Beach is a rising senior communications major from Columbus and interns for the Copperheads as the director of media relations.

鈥淭he Copperheads are a truly one-of-a-kind team,鈥� said Beach. 鈥淏eing completely student run, besides our board and executive directors, allows students to get hands on experience that we wouldn鈥檛 be able to get otherwise. Being able to work at the field, interact with fans, and help an organization is such a great experience. I knew I wanted to do media relations, and the Copperheads are the only organization that I have seen that lets an intern run that department. It鈥檚 great experience and a fun internship to have.鈥�
