Radical Collectives is a theory and production course that looks at the documentary films produced in the late 1960s and 1970s in the USA by the California Newsreel, the Third World Newsreel and the Newsreel collective. These films were a direct response to the political landscape in the USA, addressing and challenging the hegemonic cinematic and mainstream news discourse on local, national and international issues.

This studio course will explore the diverse genre of the portrait film as seen in video art, documentary, narrative and other experimental and avant-garde genres of filmmaking, assessing the unique and intersecting methodologies of editing, sound design, cinematography, typography and lighting used to support the portrait concept. We will discuss strategies, modes and influences on the concept of representation and portraiture, examining the role and process of the filmmaker in creating an articulate portrayal of the protagonist.

College of Engineering freshman and new transfer students are brought together in small groups with an Engineering upper-level student mentor. The mentor serves as a knowledgeable resource and support system for the individual as well as the group during their first semester of college. Benefits of the mentorship program include but are not limited to: immediate connection with an experienced Engineering student, meeting other first-year students who share similar academic and/or extracurricular interests, and a friendly supportive environment to share experiences and/or concerns.

This weekly seminar will be focused on increasing students' knowledge base about current psychological topics related to diversity in research and applied settings and fostering students' professional development (e.g., providing education about different career paths and graduate school) to prepare students for future careers in psychology with a strong foundation in diversity-related topics.
