The GIS students at Dickinson College will once again be presenting the results of their course project assignments at our annual GIS Exposition and Poster Symposium Friday, May 4th, 2012, from 1:30pm—4:30pm in the Kaufman Hall Student Lounge area (located between Kaufman 188 and 190, just outside the Center for Sustainability Education [CSE] office and next to DPS).
As usual, the posters will feature projects conducted by the students that demonstrate the use of GIS (geographic information systems) for investigating and analyzing problems across a wide variety of disciplines. This year’s symposium will include posters that focus on environmental assessment, archaeology, history, urban planning, economics, health studies, agriculture, and landscape management, just to name a few.
Refreshments will be provided, so we invite you to please come, relax, and celebrate the end of the academic year by visiting with our very talented and hardworking students.

We have a couple additions to the inventory here at the Media Center. For starters, we have two new fantastic XY Mic Video Camera that are great for shooting videos and getting great audio too. We also have more LUMIX Digital Still Cameras now, we previously only had one but now our supply is up to five! For more details please check out the equipment section of this blog.
In Althouse 106, on Thursday April 12 at 7:00pm, Dr. Bruce Paddington, Lecturer in the Department of Film Studies at the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, Trinidad, is giving a presentation titled “Caribbean Cinema: Issues of Representation, Historical Development and Film Practices.”
Dr. Paddington is the Founder and Festival Director of the Trinidad and Tobago Film Festival, Director of the New World Film Centre, and the founder of the media production company Banyan Productions. He is an award winning filmmaker, having made over 500 films and television programmes, mainly on Caribbean culture. His 2006 documentary, “The Mennonites of Belize,” received the award as the best cultural and educational programme by the Caribbean Broadcasting Union in 2007.
This lecture is co-sponsored by the Departments of Africana Studies and Latin American, Latino and Caribbean Studies.
What new in the MC? Well, we have 2 brand new podcast rooms bringing our total to 4 plus the studio, of course. One podcast room is modeled after the previous ones as we converted a walkin closet. The other one is a pop up room from the company Vocal Booth. It is a bit of a smaller space than the others but by setting it up in the collaboration space, people can record in there while small groups could still work on project. Seemed like a win-win situation to us. Stop by and take a look if you near by!
If you would like to learn how to operate our pro-sumer style Digital Video Camcorder, there will be a Workshop given on Friday the 17th in the Media Center Studio (Bosler 008).
—Update times are set there will be two sessions one from 3:00 to 4:30 and another from 5:00 to 6:30. People who responded to the survey and film students will get first priority but more are welcome for both times.
For the most part, things have been quiet in the Bosler Media Center this past summer. Aside from some renovations with the media center website and some cool new toys coming in (Sony Readers, LED lighting kits, etc.), the Media Center hasn’t had many major projects, however, there has been one very important one: renovations to the micro-room. After 4 years, the time came for a new batch of iMac computers to fill the halls of the Bosler micro-room. Now equipped with the latest Apple iMacs, possessing a quad core 2.5 GHz processor, a 21.5 inch screen, top notch resolution, and 500 GB of memory, and with the latest versions of various Adobe and Apple programs installed on them (Photoshop, InDesign, iMovie, etc.), the micro room has all the tools to let students and faculty create whatever they imagine.
The Media Center will be running on Summer hours starting Monday May 16th.
Hours will be:
M-F 8:30am-4:30pm
Closed Saturday & Sunday
PLEASE NOTE!! The time has changed from the original posting!
From the people who didn’t bring you “The Walking Dead” and “Shaun of the Dead” comes an all-student written, directed, photographed, and edited film starring many of the people you see around campus every day, but with less make-up on. Produced on less than a micro-budget, and filmed somehow in defiance of final exams and papers, this horror movie is already a cult favorite. Don’t miss its planetary premiere.
OPENING THURSDAY, MAY 19th AT 9 P.M. IN ALTHOUSE 106

These students have camped out in the Media Center all semester and we can’t wait to see the fruits of their labor. We are also happy they will be able to rest like normal people again after their films are completed. Kudos to them all!
