The new season of Good Morning Illini is off and running. This morning, Executive producer Maddie Rice, and the new season producers got a chance to meet the new crew. Unlike our beginning, GMI is now a full fledged class. Our J199 students are learning how to create content. Shooting, editing and learning how to be a member of our staff.

Our J480 students will be covering stories on campus. Finding Illini making a difference and covering any topic campus is talking about.

J460 are the producers for the show. This year, they are Connor Ciecko, Tim Gilmore and Liam Dwyer. Connor and Liam were both members of Fall’s edition of GMI. Connor developed our popular “Where’s Connor” segment. Liam was added as our anchor. This is the first semester of GMI for Tim, but he has already brought a lot of energy to the show. Today the three of them showed the crew how to use our cameras. Shooting techniques and strategies.

Be sure to check out their stories on our Facebook. Subscribe to our YouTube page and follow us on Instagram.  Look for he crews introduction story on February 14th at 10 am.

Make it a Good Morning, Illini!
