This course gives students an opportunity to explore personal, cultural and community immigration stories about the people in New York State. Students research, write, and create reports with video, audio and photography to produce work for digital and broadcast platforms. This new intensive course is a partnership between MCA and The National Park Service at Ellis Island and offers a chance to produce professional level work.
