It is that time of year again for all you aspiring artists to show off your work.
The Media Studies Department is hosting its annual event, displaying students' creative work. This event is called the M.A.X.
It is a "display of all of the best work of the semester from every production and history class. It has a written component, photography display, radio production, video production as well as free writing," said professor Greg Golda.
It will be hosted May 3 - the displays starting at 4 p.m. followed by video segments at 5 p.m. and concluded with the "SHUie" awards in the Edgerton Center.
The M.A.X. is a well-established event every year, but it has not always been this way.
According to Golda, the event was essentially a couple of students getting together in the studio to swap tapes and show to their friends. Since Golda has inherited the club, it has been moved into the Edgerton Center and has become a bigger event throughout the school.
"This year the M.A.X. is going to be incredibly exceptional. All of the work being presented shows the time, care, effort, and dedication that media students have to their projects. I hope everyone is able to come and support friends, family, and peers," said sophomore Lacey Gilleran.
For those students in the media field the M.A.X. is an important conclusion to their semester. According to Golda, it is the "final production phase."
"I think the event is great- my friend is a media major and he has shown me some of his work and I hope he wins- I was really impressed with it," said freshman Candace Rosario.
The importance of a student showing off their work is stressed in this major.
"A students education is incomplete with out it. It is important for these students to get feedback on their work and put it in front of peoples eyes," said Golda.
It is not only the teachers who feel that this event is important- students are also very excited for the event each semester and anticipate showing off their work.
"I feel as though it is a great opportunity for individuals looking to go into the media field to be able to show their projects and have the opportunity receive recognition and feedback on their work," said senior Susan Patton.
Senior Jason Hey said, "this year has been so hectic with getting all my work done and planning my graduation, I don't know if I am going to have time to prep my work for the M.A.X. I am going to be so bummed if I can not get it in on time."
All are welcome to join in the event media major or not, and partake in the viewing and support of your friends for a year of hard work.
