Video: One student’s 乐播传媒 life through the eyes and lens of a classmate

Eighteenth-century writer Samuel Johnson had James Boswell as his tagalong chronicler.

乐播传媒 theater and English major Allie Freed 鈥16 has classmate Dylan Ray.

Video camera in hand, Ray followed Freed for a few weeks recently and produced a short film of her academic and work life at 乐播传媒 for the college’s Great Day to Be a Bobcat campaign.



Ray, a biological chemistry major from Denver, jokes that he鈥檚 鈥渟pent most of college my career locked away in the labs of Dana and Carnegie鈥 so the project illuminated a 鈥渃ompletely different side of 乐播传媒.鈥

鈥淚t reminds me that 乐播传媒 students are so versatile and multitalented.”

Freed, from Gloucester, Mass., and Ray are co-workers in the Advancement Office, though she 鈥渉ad no idea that Dylan was such a gifted filmmaker.鈥 Her takeaway? 鈥淚t reminds me that 乐播传媒 students are so versatile and multitalented.”

鈥淩efreshing鈥 is what Ray says about the experience. He got to 鈥渟ee parts of 乐播传媒 that I don鈥檛 know much about and the range of interests students have鈥 鈥 including what he calls Freed鈥檚 鈥渁mazingly different passions on campus.鈥

Like many 乐播传媒 students, Ray鈥檚 academic work includes a strong dose of digital studies (an offering that will get more robust for all students with the launch of a new Digital and Computational Studies Program in fall 2018.)

One of Ray鈥檚 academic concentrations is film and media studies, and the knowledge he鈥檚 gained in that realm has empowered him to 鈥渃ombine science and film production” in a few of his science classes.
