Engineering a New Academic Network Profile

Here is the latest addition to the Academic Network profile video series we have been producing this year. This profile focuses on the School of Engineering, touching on the variety of programs that students can focus on including Civil, Chemical, Geological, Mechanical, General, Electrical, and Computer Science. This particular profile comes from a longer piece I produced for the School of Engineering for their 2010 orientation class. That video should be up soon so come back to check it out.

Here’s a few pics from an upcoming profile video I’m producing on the Ford Center. I spent the morning shooting the load-in of tonight’s show “Porgy and Bess”. I’ll head back tonight to grab some footage during the performance. You might be wondering why all the pictures of upcoming profile videos and no videos yet. Well, never fear! This week and next I’ll spend most of my time collecting footage for several upcoming profile videos and then begin the process of compiling them together. Then, when you just can’t stand it any longer, I’ll unveil several new profile videos to the world! Stay tuned.

SEC Academic Network

SEC Academic Network

Matthew Graves has spent the last several weeks producing profiles for the launch of the SEC Academic Network and the first batch is fresh from the oven.   Over the course of the year we hope to produce 20 to 25 profiles of departments, programs, and events on campus for the world to see on the academic network.  We believe this is a great opportunity to share the things we already know to be outstanding about the University of Mississippi with the rest of the world.  Great work Matthew!

Matthew Graves has been hustling this last couple of weeks to produce the first 5 profiles to be featured on the Ole Miss channel of the SEC Academic Network.  Pictured here is an interview with Provost Morris Stocks about the School of Accountancy’s success in placing its graduates in jobs and graduate school .  This channel, broadcast on ESPN360 and part of the contract with ESPN to broadcast SEC sports, is designated solely for academic content.  The Media and Documentary Projects Center is pleased to be selected to provide that content for the University of Mississippi.  We will make an announcement when the channel goes live August 12 and then over the course of the next year look for new segments showcasing the Ole Miss academic community.
