Video Institute Hosts Screenings
Tuesday, September 26, 2006
The Canisius College Video Institute will host a screening of two videos that focus on the plight of refugees and the efforts of local organizations to assist them, on Tuesday, September 26, 2006 at 2:30-3:30 p.m. in the Regis South.
Representatives from Journey's End Refugee Services and Vive La Casa will be present to discuss their missions and how students and others can get involved in service and service-learning opportunities.
These videos were produced by Communication Studies and Digital Media Arts majors: Nicholas Barone, Nina Cimino, Nathan Menke, and Kim Ruppel (Journey's End) -- all class of 2006, and Bob Carbone (06), Jen Eberhart (08), Amy Falletta (06), Johnny Graves (07), Kirsten Jahn (07) and Melissa Wall (06) (Vive La Casa).
Members of the production teams will also be on hand to discuss their work with the Video Institute in creating these videos. The Canisius College Video Institute provides students with the opportunity to put their classroom lessons to work on projects that will benefit the college and the community at large. Students produce documentaries and promotional videos for local and international not-for-profit and service agencies that otherwise would not have the resources to tell their stories
in this way.
The Canisius College Video Institute is funded in part by the John R. Oishei Foundation and directed by Barbara Irwin, PhD, chair of the Communication Studies Department.
