This summer, a group of high school Crusaders are working together to analyze media imagery with the help of Victor Omoayo, a Crusade alum who is teaching in our Media Literacy program. Victor is a graduate of Mount Pleasant High School in Providence. He went on to earn a B.A. in Journalism from the University of Rhode Island and an M.A. in Visual Media Arts from Emerson College. With him are (left to right) Ranishia Jordan, Yer Yang, Sesamuel Batista, Ivan Parenteau, and Anyi Montalvo. Students in the two-week course learn how to interpret a broad spectrum of sophisticated media messages and engage in writing and class discussion in a computer-interactive environment. At the end of the course, they present final projects to the class.
