Video Institute To Screen India Documentary
Monday, April 21 at 7 p.m.
The evening will begin with live Indian music. The video screening and discussion will follow at 7:30 p.m. The event, which is free and open to the public, includes a reception featuring Indian-inspired desserts.
The 30-minute documentary is a travelogue of the Summer 2007 trip taken in conjunction with the "Christianity on the Road Less Traveled" program directed by Timothy Wadkins, PhD, professor of religious studies and theology at Canisius College.
Student producers Jennifer Eberhart (COM '08) and Scott Richardson (DMA '09) will be on hand to discuss their experiences in producing the documentary.
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, Ph.D., chair of the Communication Studies department.
Canisius is one of 28 Jesuit colleges in the nation and the premier private college in Western New York. Canisius prepares leaders – intelligent, caring, faithful individuals – able to pursue and promote excellence in their professions, their communities and their service to humanity.
