Students learn on the job. They learn how to be on camera by being in front of the camera. They learn how to produce a stream by producing a stream. And through their time and effort, they have developed the program into a major operation with eight cameras, on-screen graphics, pre-game shows, replays, live drone shots, and more. Our students step up and deliver at a high level.Daniel Searl, Faculty Advisor

WCAT made my high school experience at Westminster. The opportunities it gave me allowed me to start college steps ahead of the crowd and unlocked a lot of doors for me post-graduation. The program is full of great people that made my time in it enjoyable and meaningful.Jack Hunter '20, Announcer
