| A1 | Gordon | COM 206 | T 11:00 am-12:15 pm | Topic: Media Innovation and Social Impact Practicum Media Innovation & Social Impact Practicum (MiSIP) is a practice-oriented course that bridges academic study and real-world engagement by placing students directly alongside community partners. Rather than examining media's role in social change from a distance, students gain hands-on experience navigating the challenges and opportunities of impact-driven media work in collaboration with practitioners already doing it. Through this embedded partnership model, students develop professional skills, build meaningful relationships across sectors, and contribute substantively to ongoing initiatives — leaving the course not only with a deeper understanding of how media can advance social good, but with the experience and portfolio to prove it. |
