ESPNU Campus Connection Seeks Contributors | Posted August 17, 2017.

Launched in 2008, ESPNU Campus Connection is designed to bring our viewers the latest from campuses around the country through student-generated content. With more than 150 schools participating, this program has brought informative, compelling and entertaining content to ESPNU studio shows, game broadcasts, espnW and ESPNU.com. 

Students participate in live game broadcasts, submit video features, write articles, offer creative video and take an active role in select studio-based shows and game broadcasts. In addition to the great content provided by students, ESPNU Campus Connection has also helped us find and develop young, talented people who could potentially work with our company.

Some details:

• Student based participation
• Students will be content creators writing articles, filming sporting events, and creating their own stories about Wyoming athletics.
• Stories should focus mostly on human interest pieces such as unique stories about athletes that ESPN wouldn’t cover, fandom and excitement around games, or traditions unique to the school.
• Serves as a great way for students to get exposure to ESPN while still in school and a great way to make connections to employees at ESPN (it helped me leverage my way into an internship and finally a full time position with the company).
• Students would use their own equipment. They don’t need grossly expensive equipment – an iPhone would suffice, but they should keep in mind audio quality.
• Here’s an Intro video that gives a little more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gUiVkgqy7s
• Full list of their videos: https://vimeo.com/espnucampusconnection
• EPSNU Contributor Eric Nielson's last video for Wyoming: https://vimeo.com/194119297
