Take a guided tour of the Rocky Mountain Student Media facilities! Sign up at the CSU table in the exhibit area. Tours begin at the start of Sessions 2 &3. J-Day Insider Tip: Always have a back-up session planned in case your first choice is full. There is a 10-minute “passing period” between sessions, so have your LSC map ready and arrive on time.
Broadcast Stories that Work Patrick Moring, Rampart HS BROADCAST Room 322 Editor Roundtable EDITORS Room 304-306 When do I eat lunch? You may have brought lunch, but the Lory Student Center food courts, located on the two floors below the Grand Ballroom, are open. Some may choose to wait to eat after the closing session (if you can hold on until 2 p.m.), but to keep the food court chaos to a minimum: Schools from A - L eat during Session 3 (11:20-12:05pm) Schools from M - Z eat during Session 4 (12:15-1:00pm)
7:30am - 1:00pm Registration and Information Check in, drop off payments, and ask questions. Sponsors’ Exhibit Area Visit with J-Day sponsors. If you miss making the rounds of our exhibitors, you just don’t get the full J-Day experience.
