Broadcasting student Mike Allison has completed a video for University Relations and the video features broadcasting major Erin Thurman.
One of Western Illinois University's core values is educational opportunity, and one of the many ways WIU provides that opportunity is through its hands-on learning activities, programs and courses. Recently, senior broadcasting major Mike Allison (Milan, IL) showcased some of those opportunities in a video he produced for Western's University Relations office. Through grant funding awarded to University Relations via University Marketing's Campus Area Grant program last spring, Allison was hired by University Relations in May to work on the video over the summer. Allison, who already earned a bachelor's degree in 2006 from WIU in geography, noted the job provided him the chance to get more hands-on experience. "This project gave me the opportunity to learn more about shooting and editing techniques for a promotional video," Allison said. "Although I have senior status due to my bachelor's in geography, thus far, I've only completed some introductory courses in the broadcasting department, so I'm still getting my 'feet wet' in regard to the video production process."Read the whole story and see the video.
