Media Services is broadcasting the first UCCS original content to the Colorado Springs and Pikes Peak Region communities.
“The Syllabus” is a video news magazine that highlights UCCS community-directed efforts to be aired quarterly on television and online.
“The UCCS community is doing a lot of interesting things that we want to share with the Colorado Springs and Pikes Peak Region communities,” Kelsey Hunt, associate director, Media Services, said.
Hunt, who won two Emmy Awards while working on “As the World Turns,” is excited to create original contented showcasing what the UCCS community is doing.
“It’s unbelievable how active our community is,” Hunt said. “We’re only on our second episode and we already have a list of stories to cover.”
Topics range from student features to faculty to staff research projects, and from university events to university milestones like the Memorial Hospital vote.
On top of showcasing the UCCS community, “The Syllabus” is also providing valuable hands on experience for UCCS two communication students.
“Working on the Syllabus while being in school has challenged me,” Erick Murphy, senior, digital filmmaking said. “It has forced me to work on time management, while utilizing the skills I’ve learned from my schooling and job in Media Services.”
The next episode of “The Syllabus” is scheduled to air at the end of September on Comcast Channel 20, and will be posted to the UCCS YouTube page. Topics for the episode will include the UCCS Yawn Valley Student Garden and Market, the start of the fall semester, the effects of the Waldo Canyon fire on the campus community and the opening of Café 65.
The first episode of “The Syllabus” aired in June and can be viewed at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNw-o4EWgnI&feature=plcp
