Getting Involved

Interested in writing, photography, sales or design? If so, the Technique has a lot to offer. Our staff is comprised entirely of Tech students interested in improving their writing, communication and design skills. If you are interested in any of the following, consider joining the Technique.

  • Improving your writing skills – By joining the Technique, you will learn how to write articles for a range of different sections including News, Opinions, Life, Entertainment and Sports. In addition, you will learn how to interview sources and improve your skills to analyze information and ask the right questions.
  • Sales opportunities – As part of the business team, you can hone your salesmanship by selling ads for the paper. Sharpening your sales skills can help you become a better marketer or manager in your professional career.
  • Design skills – The Technique maintains two mediums of publication — both a print and online format. If you’re interested in graphic design, you’ll have the opportunity to work with section editors to help design layout the paper on a weekly basis. Doing so will help you expand your graphic design portfolio as well.
  • Photography – Our staff is also responsible for taking photos for the paper. Among other things, lessons are held by fellow students on topics such as how to shoot sports, portraits, landscapes etc.

General Body Meetings are held weekly on Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m. in the Student Center in room 2150 (Student Media suite).
