The Making of a Project Video Workshop
The Office of Undergraduate Research hosted the workshop, "The Making of a Project Video". During this interactive workshop, the audience watched and listened to videos from five student panelists. Each video creator then talked about their process and production method in a Q&A session after each viewing. They were joined by members of the Global Lab in the Foisie Innovation Studio who shared additional tips. You can access a recording of the workshop here. A huge thank you to all of our student panelists, Maya Angeles, Jacqueline Lopez, Mason Ocasio, Susanna Oppong, Adrian Orszulak, Ally Salvino, and Jeremiah Valero, as well as our participants!
