UNCP Art, Mass Communications and Music Departments Establish Collaborative Minor

UNC Pembroke students can now take advantage of a minor in multimedia studies. Just approved to take effect in Fall, 2005 the Media Integration Project will become a Media Integration Minor. Under the auspices of the UNCP Digital Academy, an unprecedented six UNCP academic progams will collaborate to offer students advanced study in this new and exciting discipline. Dr. Larry Arnold of the Music Department is a founding member of the Media Integration Project and the UNCP Digital Academy with longtime colleagues and cofounders Dr. John Labadie of the Art Department and Mr. George Johnson of Mass Communications. Electives for the minor will be offered by the Departments of English, Theatre and Languages, Philosophy and Religion, and the Geology and Geography program of the Department of Chemistry and Physics. The UNCP Digital Academy team of Arnold, Johnson and Labadie have also presented their work and the work of Media Integration students at statewide meetings of the UNC Teaching and Learning with Technology Collaborative, and at the international conference of the New Media Consortium held at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada last summer.
