So I finally had the chance to see the new media building at my school which used to be an old TV station that had an overhaul of sorts. While the new design looks good and there are plenty of loose ends to tie up- The radio station still looks unpacked. I found myself thinking why there wasn’t any love for the new building and the ongoing revamp of the curriculum. I mean when I logged onto the schools website there is nothing saying Hey look at the new equipment available for media technology students! (I think a year ago the major was supposed to be changed to Mass Communication… still waiting). We have brand new editing bays, three recording studios, and nice new Mac computers. I think the gargantuan Health care building got a lot more attention and love. As a new student I would love to know what is available for me and now that the building is officially open- I’ve heard crickets. Crickets! I know the program will continue to evolve and sooner or later it will get the respect it deserves, but not even a little sign on campus directing students to the “New” building is kind of sad.
On a side note…I see my professors are going to have a lot of fun with the whole duel screen technology thing. LOL.
