Chapman Student is First-Ever Legal Extern at CNBC London
In this unique position, Serra gained hands-on experience in legal issues concerning the European market. Much of her time was spent reviewing and revising syndication and production agreements for European affiliates. Serra also regularly took part in compliance meetings with the CNBC offices in London, Paris and Frankfurt. “I had a fantastic time at CNBC! Although the network predominantly covers business news and programming, it also includes entertainment shows on the evenings and weekends, such as The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Luxury Life Series. Due to the broad spectrum of programming, I was able to work on a range of these matters," she said. “One interesting project required that I create a power point presentation on The Office of Communications [UK Television Broadcasting Regulatory Organization]. In order to make it more engaging, I produced a brief video illustration of the principal rules, which featured two of the CNBC morning news anchors,” she noted. While in London, Serra observed Chapman's growing international reach, as she was among a number of alumni who attended the Chapman University Alumni Reception at Blackstone's London office in July 2008. Serra received her undergraduate degree from Chapman University, with honors, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Television and Film. She plans to work in the entertainment industry after graduation. |
