Biola
University’s Studio Task Force is
a group of over 200 Christian professionals
in the entertainment industry who meet
quarterly at CBS Studio Center in support
of Biola University’s Mass Communication
department. This unique organization brings
together college students majoring in
radio, television, film and journalism
with industry pros who are dedicated to
investing in the next generation of writers,
directors, producers and crew.
The
Studio Task Force allows Biola students
to draw upon their expertise in all areas
of production. They mentor, teach, and
advise students through internships and
training, both on and off campus.
In
addition to donating their time, skills
and resources, Studio Task Force members
benefit personally by enjoying valuable
networking time with each other. Our quarterly
meetings at CBS Studio Center, give members
a networking resource, one that provides
support and strength through prayer, friendship,
and fellowship. We value each relationship
with great respect and confidentiality.
Task Force members also have a chance
to scout, recruit and hire our sharpest
grads.
