DEPARTMENT: Communications
POSTER TITLE: Basecamp for Project Management in Studio Five
Studio Five is the capstone course for the four major tracks in the Communications Department: Writing, Public Relations/Marketing Communications, Graphic Design, and Integrated Media. Structured as a project-based learning experience, Studio Five gives students an opportunity to learn how to work within a team for non-profit clients. Students are responsible for project development and management, including conducting face-to-face meetings with clients, working with vendors, and creating timelines and budgets—all ultimately leading up to producing finished work for their clients. Projects may range from work on a website, creation of a brochure, or production of a radio or video spot to setting up photo shoots, producing events, or even undertaking an entire branding campaign.
