The speakers will discuss their continuous project with the Immigration Services at Champaign-Urbana (ISCU), which started in summer 2021. Brought together from the WeCU volunteer program and in collaboration with the Illinois Community Media Project, they utilized their diverse skills to reach out to this community and create a video showcasing the efforts of this service organization. Included with this discussion, they will share their unique experiences at the University and any advice/tips they have for current students. Through their experiences, they will also express the capabilities that media production work can provide for anyone interested in getting involved and the value of localized media.
This event is part of the College of Media Annual Theme Series.
