Intern Spotlight: Brendan Lowder


Brendan Lowder As an intern at the Community Media Center I gained first-hand experience in video production. I had the opportunity to work on a number of studio productions with people who do this work for a living. Also, I had the chance to edit videos and graphics that were later broadcast on television. Not only did I get to work in the field, I got to shoot and produce my own project for a client. Here at the CMC, I learned the fundamentals I need to prepare for a career after college.




Intern Spotlight: Charles Nelson


Charles Nelson Interning at CMC... where do I start? I have nothing but good things to say. The staff always made me feel comfortable and a part of the team. I was trusted to use equipment, and because of this my confidence grew. I really felt like my work matured over the duration of my internship. I was always encouraged to add my touch to pieces, and was trusted to shoot and produce work by myself. The type of confidence I gained from this experience has worked its way into my schoolwork and personal life as well. I feel like I have friends forever at CMC, and will always appreciate the opportunities they gave me.




Intern Spotlight: Colin Pate


Colin At the end of my Video Production class I was offered an internship at the Carroll Media Center. If it wasn't for Westminster's Career and Technology Center I would have never know about this amazing experience. From day one I handled professional equipment and learned a great deal about video production. I was editing pieces, filming shows, and even creating PSA's for local organizations. I enjoyed every moment spent helping the CMC and their amazing staff. This experience has been one I hope others will not pass up.
