La Voz is recruiting students for the winter '07 quarter. "I want people to join La Voz because I like it when students have a voice on the campus. I think it's important for students to be able to tell people what they need and what they think about the college and the campus and what's going on," said Beth Grobman, La Voz advisor.
La Voz is looking for a friendly, cooperative staff. Becoming a member teaches important skills such as interviewing strangers, doing background research, attending events, as well as writing the actual stories and using proper newspaper formatting. Being a member of La Voz looks professional on resumes and college applications.
"I joined La Voz because I think it is a good way to know more about De Anza. Also, it really helped me to contribute to my personal statements. It is a pretty unique experience to an international student like me," said Clement Lee, a member of La Voz advertising team.
"I joined La Voz because I like it. I can get the paper out every week. It is pretty stressful but it is fun because you really get to know the people that you are in class with and you can really get along well with the staff in La Voz. It is like a big family. It is a fun place to be at school," said Dan Sealana, the editor in chief of La Voz.
"I really had a good time in La Voz and have learnt a lot. La Voz is dynamic and exciting. You never know what will happen next day. People at De Anza just like become your family outside home," said Robert Erdei, the assistant editor at La Voz.
There are different levels of involvement at La Voz. Anyone can send in a story. For people who are looking for credit, La Voz offers JOUR 62, which is a minimal commitment one-unit class. The requirements are drawn up at the beginning of the quarter and are set on an individual basis with the instructor, Cecilia Deck, and the prospective writer.
JOUR 61 is the actual La Voz class. It has official class times between 3:45 and 5 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays as well as formal requirements to pass. Both freelancers and actual class members can apply for editor positions.
Editors must be available from 5 to 6:30 p.m. on Tuesdays for Editorial board meetings. They must also be present on Wednesdays and Thursdays after 6 p.m. for production nights.
It is the individual's choice to become more or less involved at La Voz. La Voz offers JOUR 63 which is a class that specializes on budget and finance for the paper among other responsibilities.
