We work diligently to bring our audience valuable, relevant, and entertaining information. Anyone who is looking for a productive and professional environment to expand upon their skills in writing, reporting, video production, multimedia or graphic design will find a home with Fast Track.

Students of the week: Nick Crow and Harry Nelson

Monday, October 26th, 2009

Nick Crow and Harry Nelson were chosen this week for the time and talent they put into the post production editing of Fast Track:Te Informa and Fast Track.

Nick Crow is a senior in the College of Liberal Arts majoring in Film and Visual Studies. He enjoys movies, TV, music, and traveling. Although this is his first semester with Fast Track, Nick is not without broadcast experience. At the age of nine he co-anchored infrequent news programs with his four-year old sister with the family camera. He hopes to bring this same level of professionalism to Fast Track.

Harry Nelson is a senior with a major in Film and Video Studies. He is from Lebanon, Indiana and hopes to one day work in television, which he also enjoys watching.

Congratulations, and thanks for the outstanding job you do on the shows!
