Two Hamilton students were among participants at a Media Scholarship in the Liberal Arts presentation at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass., on Feb. 2. Kira DesJardins '10 and Kelsey Rice '10 participated in panel discussions at the workshop with Professor of English Vincent Odamtten and Instructional Technologist Janet Simons. The session was developed by Simons and David Baird of Colgate University.

In the past year, Hamilton College, Colgate University and St. Lawrence University, supported by a NITLE Instructional Innovation Fund grant, have collaborated to develop interdisciplinary assignment models that promote media scholarship by students across the curriculum. These efforts are an attempt to capitalize on student interest in digital media with the goal of deepening their engagement with course content. The colleges also seek to provide faculty with the necessary frameworks with which to evaluate multimodal student projects. This event is the first of several to broaden these discussions and showcase examples of media scholarship from multiple schools in the Northeast.
