This week, members of the Shamrock Broadcasting Team visited @WatchMarquee Sports Network Studios. Marquee was gracious enough to host us after our students had the opportunity to broadcast football and basketball games on the network earlier this year as part of the Community Showcase. The students were able to network with local professionals, go behind the scenes into the broadcast production, and take a private tour of Wrigley Field. Thank you to the Marquee team for their hospitality!
Congratulations ☘️👏
