This course is a “major elective” for students in Advertising, Multimedia

learn about mobile phone photography and video shooting. They will experiment
with green screens and GoPro cameras. Also, they will master a range of design,
image, video and audio editing software (Adobe Photoshop, Premiere, Audition,
and Spark). In addition, students will learn about media entrepreneurship, and
they will use social media analytics to measure their reach and engagement. Dr.
Nataliya Roman will teach the course.
EOI open discussions
SGA conducted a survey of students during the fall and the results indicated
that students do not know where to report incidents of discrimination including
sexual misconduct and that they are unsure of the process. EOI has received
similar questions from faculty and staff members. April is Sexual Assault
Awareness and Prevention Month and EOI will conduct a series of discussion
sessions for students, faculty and staff. The session for students is scheduled
from 5-6:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 7. All sessions will be held on Zoom.

Internships offered at School
of Communication
The UNF School of Communication is accepting applications for Summer and Fall
semester 2021 interns. The internship program provides an essential real-world
experience throughout the semester for our students enrolled in the senior
internship program.
For Multimedia Journalism and Digital Video Production
students, SoC particularly needs an on-camera news anchors, sports
reporter/anchor, and show producer. In the fall semester we expect to fill
those positions and an additional production Tricaster director with
flexible hours. So, why wait to set up your internship for summer and fall when
you have the opportunity right now?
The intention is to expand the brand of Inside Swoop -- a
student-produced, daily 90-second show focused on news, entertainment and
sports -- which provides hands-on experiences for students aspiring to be
anchors, reporters, producers or directors. SoC is seeking students who have a
strong interest in broadcasting.
In addition, the SoC is accepting resumes for the social
media intern for both the department and Inside Swoop in 90.
Contact Professor Ken Thomas at k.thomas@unf.edu for more
information or email your resume for these positions. Visit the SoC's internship
site for the senior internship requirements and applications.
Are you planning to complete your senior
internship this summer?
There are plenty of pre-approved sites which are offering internships
face-to-face, remote, or a combination of both. For pre-approved internship
sites, go to the communication internship information page and search your major
field to see what’s available.
Remember, you can’t register for the Senior Internship
Class (MMC 4975) until your internship has been approved. The submission
deadline for applications is April 15. Applications for internships can be found
on the Communication Majors Canvas Home page or under “Forms” on the Internship
website.

Student spotlight: Joe Ellis
by Jay Seibel
Multimedia Journalism & Production student
Joseph Ellis is a senior studying multimedia production and
journalism who came to UNF on an athletic scholarship -- all the way from
across the pond.
Originally from Birmingham, England, Ellis, 21, made the
move after receiving a scholarship to play tennis for the Ospreys.
“College tennis is what brought me to UNF. It was a scary
decision which didn’t hit home until I woke up to get on the plane, but I
wouldn’t change it for anything,” he said.
A skilled tennis player since his youth, Ellis has
represented the Ospreys since his freshman year, when he helped UNF win the conference
championship.
“We won at our home courts in front of our home crowd. It’s
my favorite memory so far at UNF,” he said.
When not practicing his serve, Ellis pursues other
interests.
“In my free time I listen to a lot of music and read about
art. I love the way the two subjects come together,” he said.
Those interests led him to study communication. While
moving thousands of miles across the Atlantic Ocean seemed daunting at first,
Ellis’ optimism is what has driven him to succeed.
“One of my biggest fears is being unhappy, so I try to be
positive,” he said. “The best advice I’ve ever received is to not dwell in the
past and to embrace change.”
Ellis said coming to UNF helped him embrace this outlook.
“Moving to America changed my perspective on life,” he
said. “It made me become comfortable with the unknown and how to form
relationships. This taught me to be myself wherever I am.”
Ellis hopes to bring this outlook with him into his future.
He misses home a little. But the weather in Florida keeps
him pretty happy. He hopes to earn his degree and work for the Association of
Tennis Professionals as a sports journalist. The ATP’s headquarters? Ponte
Vedra Beach.
