Monday Update | College of Arts and Humanities Update

Dear Colleagues,

Below you will find two videos from the College of Arts and Humanities. We invite you to take 3 minutes to listen to a section of Russ Johnson’s Grammy-nominated, Headlands. Accompanying this exquisite piece of music making is a photomontage of what’s happening in the College in October.

Our second video represents an example of how we intend to get our message and creativity outside the halls of the Rita during the time of COVID. We are putting together teams of students from our DMAP minor and Theater to help make videos, do camera work on with our live-streaming, and audio-engineer music recordings.

Communication major, Mitch Johnson, shot the video as part of his capstone project for a minor in DMAP. The video is a small segment of what we shot back in August. Longer, department specific videos will be made for each major and used during our “Arts and Humanities Visit Week” that will be a combination of prerecorded videos and live-streamed interviews between students and faculty. In October, students, armed with an iPhone, will make Tik-Tok-like teasers to drive prospective students to our virtual events.
