Lake Front TV to introduce new format this semester

Students encouraged to sign up for staff positions

The student-run news station, Lake Front TV, will be changing formats beginning in September. Instead of a five-minute recorded news format, Lake Front TV will now be a 30-minute, live news magazine. The broadcasts will take place on Fridays starting at noon and will be seen on the digital signage screens throughout campus, online and on OLLU’s Show and Share. With the live broadcasts, Lake Front TV will be eligible to compete with other universities from throughout the United States for the College Television Award, sponsored by the Emmys Foundation.

Any OLLU student can be a part of the Lake Front TV staff, even those who are not majoring in mass communications. Students who are interested in being part of the staff should contact Antoinette Winstead at awinstead@lake.ollusa.edu or 210-434-6711, ext. 2257, or Michael Thompson atmgthompson@lake.ollusa.edu or 210-434-6711, ext. 5548.

Deadline to submit health insurance waiver is Aug. 31

The deadline for students to submit a health insurance waiver for fall 2013 is Aug. 31. The waiver can be completed online by logging in to the myOLLU Portal and completing the form under “Links to Forms.” After the waiver is completed and submitted, a confirmation email will be sent to the email on file.

Per Our Lady of the Lake University policy, international students are not allowed to waive coverage. Students who are enrolled in less than seven semester hours, or who are taking 100 percent online classes, do not need to complete a waiver.
