What are you doing on Saturday May 2 at 4 p.m.?
If you answered nothing, you might want to check out this year's MAX Exhibit.
The MAX is a showcase that represents
students' work from courses in Communication and Technology Studies, as well as Media Studies. The MAX, which stands for the Media Arts Exhibition, is hosted by the Department of Media Students and Digital Culture, and the Students Association of Sacred Heart University.
According to Gregory J. Golda, Clinical Instructor of Media Studies at Sacred Heart, the MAX is not "just your average film festival." Other areas that are covered are radio, movie, television and photography productions. Also included are advertising, screenwriting, and critical writing from the previous year.
"Students from Sacred Heart University have gone on to some exciting and influential jobs in media around the country," said Golda.
The Media Students Association, or the MSA, which is in charge of the exhibit,
is a student organization dedicated to media literacy and the democratization of media technology.
Golda notes that the MSA brings together current students, alumni, and industry professionals, to create a network of resources for students interested in pursuing
a career in Media.
To get involved, faculty members of various departments are encouraged to submit students' work. Some faculty however,
tend to take the lead in submitting students' work.
Associate Professor of Media Studies, James Castonguay, has been at Sacred Heart for eight years and has watched the program grow from a small gathering in a classroom, to a significant campus-wide event. He gives a lot of the credit to Professor Golda.
"Professor Golda has done an excellent job developing and organizing the end-of-the-year showcase for several years now," said Castonguay.
But he's not alone. Several students have taken the initiative to ensure that this year's exhibit is bigger and better, and runs smoothly.
