A new program being created by the Roy H. Park School of Communications at Ithaca College takes the idea of the traditional Hollywood movie studio and gives it a modern twist, providing students with unparalleled opportunities to produce and distribute projects across multiple media platforms. The Transmedia Studio will be a cocurricular organization, mirroring the structure of the school’s award-winning student television, radio and newspaper operations.

An executive staff made up of Park School students will run the studio, listening to “pitches” from fellow students and deciding which project proposals to fund. The projects can range from narrative films to online webisodes, and draw upon the talents of students across the entire campus, from writing, producing, directing and acting to editing, budgeting, scoring, set and costume design and marketing.

Submitted for Mark Coldren, AVP for Human Resources

A key part of IC 20/20 is the Ithaca College Diversity Strategic Plan.  One important part of this plan is for the College to implement a campus-wide climate survey with a focus on diversity and inclusion.  This survey is currently under development and will be available for all students, faculty, and staff to participate at the end of October through the start of November.  Focus groups have been providing input to enable the survey to be more clear to meet the overall survey design dimensions that were introduced last spring.  The survey will be available online for the campus community very soon.  There will be more information to follow.  It is the hope for great participation in this effort as we continue to learn about ourselves and our community.  If you have any questions, please contact Mark Coldren in the Office of Human Resources at x4-3853 or at mcoldren@ithaca.edu.
