Located in B25 Crough Center, the Media Lab is a teaching lab and resource available to students in the Media & Communication Studies (MCS) department. The Media Lab houses our editing lab, classroom, equipment check out area, and sound and lighting studios.
In the production classes held in the Media Lab, students draw on the rhetorical, ethical and technical concepts learned in previous Media Studies courses and are challenged to apply them in thoughtful and creative ways. We believe that "hands-on" should not mean "brains off."
Lab facilities are operated by our full-time Media Lab Director Abby Moser, an accomplished video producer and educator. Ms. Moser and experienced student lab monitors are available during Lab hours to provide assistance and offer extra instruction.
