#GetSlammed @ Cumberland County

College
Creative minds unite for CCCs annual poetry slam
VINELAND, NJ May 4, 2016, Cumberland County College will be holding
its 3rd annual poetry slam. The show starts at 7 p.m., here on campus,
in the Guarancini Fine and Performing Arts Centers Luciano Theatre.
Over 20 artists will be presenting original poetry, and while admission
is free, donations are encouraged and gratefully accepted. All money
will be collected at the door, and goes to the Media Club whose
advisor, Professor Renee Post, produces the event.
Co-founded by Post and one of her former students, CCC
graduate Daniel Carter, the latter views slam poetry as an outlet to
share stories in a creative art form. Post also uses the event as a form
of hands-on learning for her public relations and special events classes,
utilizing her students to promote the event using the skills they have
learned, and to work it through volunteering. Such grants them
experience in both the technical and physical aspects of their chosen
field.
