The Media Studies Department (MST) at UNCG held its inaugural New Academic Year Kickoff on Friday, August 29th. Spartan media community members gathered to celebrate, connect, play community games, and learn about new departmental initiatives.
The Kirkland Room at the Elliot University Center was full of new and returning students and MST faculty and staff coming together to build community. Professor Changhee Chun, the new department head, encouraged students to explore opportunities like Spartan Media Productions and the Summer Study Abroad Program in Korea. Each faculty member urged students to be present, proactive, and supportive.
