Mission:
The Center for Student Media offers a number of opportunities for students to gain industry grade experience outside the classroom. As a department, we are committed to providing students with the entire creative process when it comes to media, bringing an idea to the table, brainstorming plans, conducting interviews, editing (footage, sound, written stories) and so on. The Center for Student Media allows participants to take control their own experience within our department, growing, learning and developing through one, two, or all three of our media platforms.
Learning Outcomes:
As a result of participation within the Campus Media Center and its organizations, students will:
* Learn how to operate industry grade equipment and programs for their given media platform, attaining entry level and even mastery of given programs and equipment.
