Ithaca College

The Park School of Communications is delighted to welcome Roger Raiford as our new Director of Technical Operations - replacing David Priester who retired in September.

Roger brings to us a wealth of experience and contacts in both the engineering and producing aspects of media.  Most recently he was instrumental in building and launching the studios and entire production system for the Al Jazeera Network as Head of Technical Operations for the Americas.  Previously he served as a Bureau Manager for the Associated Press and as Production Manager for CBS in New York.  He earned a B.S. in film and television from RIT and is eager to share his experiences with our students.

Please join me in welcoming Roger to our campus and to the Ithaca area. We're looking forward to increased outreach with many other offices on campus, so we appreciate your time as he gets oriented.
