The funds will be used to complete the video production studio with the addition of Audio-Technica Pro 88W – Camera Mountable VHF Lavalier System and Yamaha MW10 10-channel Stereo mixer with USB Output. This will allow students to create videos such as newscasts without the visual presence of audio recording devices present, resulting in a more authentic final product. Students in the Business and Social Studies departments will use this studio in coursework and will be available to others as well.
Grant: $485
