Communications assistant professor Derek Lackaff is participating as a faculty mentor at the Gary Chapman School on Digital Transformation in Porto, Portugal July 17-22.

Here’s a fun fact about junior media arts & entertainment major Will Anderson in his own words: “I was that little dork sitting at home on his computer as a junior in high school following the Elon in LA blog. Now it’s cool to be here blogging about my own experiences. Elon in LA is the reason I was even sold on considering Elon, to be honest.”

Twenty-six students, faculty, staff and alumni representing ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ’s Imagining the Internet Center participated in and provided official documentation of the Internet Governance Forum-USA 2011 at Georgetown University Law Center on July 18.

Sixty-eight students representing several majors have been participating this summer in a domestic summer internship programs in both Los Angeles and New York. While in their respective cities, students take an academic course on Mondays and complete internships the rest of the week. The structures of the nine-week programs vary, but students receive the same general experience, as they live, take classes and do internships in a major American city.

All films begin on the page. Someone, typically the screenwriter, has to put pen to paper and give words and movements and motivations to characters. In the nine-week Elon in Los Angeles summer program, it’s no different.

Last year, the three faculty and 18 students who were part of the renewed Elon in New York City program considered the nine-week summer internship experience a resounding success. That's why, coming into this summer, the returning instructors decided to leave the program mostly untouched.
