The video is mostly people (fans!) holding up signs
with appreciation messages to their mentors and/or honorees. The only
speaking part is the head of North Campus Security, the gorgeous Mr.
Darryl Johnson, whom we all know and love, at the end of the video.

KEYNOTE ADDRESS: MADA Kick-off Social Mixer

We live in an
increasingly digital world. Rampant new technologies continue to invade our
lives often making it difficult for us to discern any kind of distinction
between the media channels through which we engage. This process is referred to
as convergence and for many of us who have taken numerous media and
communication courses here at North Seattle Community College, we know that the
convergence of mass media with emerging technologies can be daunting to
comprehend and navigate. The fragmentation of the value chain for industry
specific mediums such as film, radio, theatre or journalism means that the
manner in which content is created and distributed has changed dramatically
from legacy systems to digital ones. Consumers are no longer tethered to the
four walls of a movie theatre to watch a movie, the hard copy of a newspaper to
read a breaking story, or the broadcast airwaves to produce audio content. More and more consumers and content creators
like independent filmmakers, podcasters, e-zine publishers and online
journalists are establishing their own mechanisms for distributing media
content.
It
is not a perfect landscape; we are bombarded with new and improved mobile
devices capable of functioning as alternative devices for viewing and
distributing content, as well as ethical issues of copyright infringement. And
we are told that we need to gravitate towards
social media and new emergent technologies in order to stay relevant in
the marketplace as a brand. MADA understands the complexities of these issues,
and the need for both critical analysis and media literacy when it comes to
navigating the new digital landscape. But the most important thing the club can
do is stay vigilant in helping its members acquire the competencies necessary
to move forward in their interdisciplinary fields, by embracing the new digital
landscape with hands-on production and applied knowledge of new technologies. And
that is why MADA is dedicated to encouraging its members to produce original
media content and to think about new methods of distribution to push content
into the marketplace.
The extent to which the integration of digital and legacy
media can coexist is a debate for another day but what I do know is that
student-run media clubs like MADA are geared towards preparing for the next
generation and navigation of the new frontier, and are dedicated to honing skills for a future as
media professionals.

MADA WELCOMES YOUR INTEREST IN THE CLUB
LETTER FROM THE STUDENT CLUB PRESIDENT TO ALL PROSPECTIVE MEMBERS FROM NSCC SPRING CLUB FAIR 2013!
Welcome to the Media & Digital Arts Club or MADA; we sometimes refer more broadly to ourselves as the Multimedia Digital Arts Club but whatever you want to call us, know that essentially the mission of the club is to help other students create and participate in the development and distribution of original media content, and to promote media literacy. “Students helping other students create Media” – this is the objective and it is measured by the various projects we undertake around the NSCC campus. Some of our past projects include the "Get to Know Your Faculty" series which offers students insight into some of the teaching professionals at the school by providing them a platform to introduce themselves to the greater student body, the "Student Organization Spotlight", a TV broadcast series that highlights some of the student run organizations on campus, and NSCC Springfest, a robust short film documentation of NSCC Spring's fun and enjoyment celebration and activities.
Current projects involve working with Student Leadership and the Research and Advocacy Board to produce a video addressing budgetary issues and student enrollment at NSCC to be sent to legislators in Olympia. Another new and exciting project is a news and informational TV broadcast series in development by one of our prominent members. More information about this series will be released at a later date.
Another important aspect of MADA is not only the value-added service of creating media properties that enrich the student environment, but that can also be reflected on your resume or curriculum vitae. Many of us in the club are using MADA as a foundation builder towards our eventual careers in the media and technology industry. MADA offers the experience of hands-on production in multidisciplinary fields.
Our club adviser is Dr. Robert Schuessler, the Faculty Coordinator for the Communications, Business and Media program here at NSCC. MADA's origins are intrinsically linked to the CBM program but you do not have to be a part of said program to participate in the club. Your only requirement as a member is your willingness to get involved and participate in the process.
MADA is lead by my role as President of the Club along with my colleague LeKea DeBose, Vice-President and one of the original foundation members. Both LeKea and I are dedicated to ensure MADA's viability as a sustainable NSCC club. Our meetings are held on the NSCC campus on Fridays, 3-4pm in Rm. CC1360 (next to the microwave ovens in the cafeteria) NOTE: Meeting for 4-12-2013 has been cancelled.
So again, thank you for dropping by our table at the recent NSCC Spring Club Fair and we hope to see and work with you on an exciting project soon!

JOIN NSCC TO CELEBRATE BLACK HISTORY MONTH
JOIN US TO CELEBRATE BLACK HISTORY MONTH
NSCC FILM SCREENINGS: In the first film screening we take a look at some of the visual artists of the Harlem Renaissance in Against the Odds: The Artists of the Harlem Renaissance (Run time 60 mins.). Black artists struggle to have their art taken seriously by the white gatekeepers of the art world. Zora Neale Hurston: Jump at the Sun (Run time 84 mins.) is a documentary about one of America's widely-published novelists and one of black America's notable scholars known as the "Queen of the Harlem Renaissance".
Please join North Seattle Community College's Multimedia Digital Arts Club in honoring achievement in African-American History and US History with a double bill screening on Friday, February 22, 2013 4:30pm-7:00pm at the Baxter Event Center/NSCC campus, of important artists and innovators during the Harlem
Renaissance.
The Harlem Renaissance is one of the most influential, ambitious and
intellectually recognized famous cultural movements in America spanning the 1920's and early 30's. Harlem, a leading African-American neighborhood and cultural center in New York City was home to a flourishing period of expression by African-Americans in the arts, literature, film, politics, economics and music.
In the 1920's Harlem was euphemistically referred to as the "capital of Black America". Harlem was the cornerstone of black culture because of a proliferation of freethinkers and creative individuals who settled in the area to work and produce great works of imagination and purpose. Harlem was the epicenter of some of the best and brightest minds of the 20th Century. Join Us to relive the history of this wonderful period in time.

Screening of "Get to Know Your Faculty" Video Interviews at NSCC
Screening of "Get to Know Your Faculty" Video Interviews at NSCC
.
MADA will be hosting a film screening called "Get to Know a Faculty Member" to increase faculty visibility on campus. The screening will be on Thursday, Jan. 31, from 1:45 - 4:15 pm.
It will be held at the Baxter Event Center.
About "Get to Know Your Faculty" ---
Much talk is made about NSCC's fascinating and diverse student body; deservedly so. But, I think we often forget that many of the teachers and other staff members have led fascinating lives both inside and outside of academia. This project will highlight the experiences of teachers and staff as well as what motivates them to be a part of the community at our community college.

NSCC HALLOWEEN CONTEST PHOTOS
No one can ever accuse NSCC students of not having a little fun when time permits between studies. Last year October 2012, MADA interviewed several creative NSCC students who got all gussied up in fancy dress to participate in the NSCC Halloween Photo Contest. Below are some of the photos from that interview. The actual video interviews are still in post-production and are expected to debut in early Winter Quarter 2013 around the end of January, or early February.
MADA member Baldwin Browne was instrumental as the on-camera host in the interviews and MADA member La-Tonia Denise Willis served as Director/Camera Operator.
