NBS-AERho @ UIS

The purpose of the UIS chapter of the National Broadcasting Society / AERho is to help collegiate electronic media students make the transition to the professional world. NBS and AERho enhance the development of students and early professionals on a chapter, district, regional and national level by: promoting excellence; providing opportunities for ethical and responsible leadership; providing exposure to the "electronic media" industries; assisting in career preparation; providing opportunities for and encouraging the development of members through advanced media education programs; providing opportunities for and encouraging the participation of members in community service projects and activities.

The UIS National Broadcasting Society chapter was reactivated in the Fall of 2006.  The UIS/SSU NBS chapter has a rich history on campus, but has been idle since the 1990s.  AERho is the associated media honor society which was reactivated at the same time.

Once all the national requirements have been met our chapter will be affiliated with the Heartland Region of the National Broadcasting Society, Region Number Five (5).
