Student Video Contest

Huntington University – “Together”

Campaign 2009

 

As a part of our “Together” Campaign to improve upon and enhance the facilities and overall experience at Huntington University, the Campus Community Committee is sponsoring a Student Video Contest. All current Huntington University students are eligible for the prizes and welcome to participate as we seek to spread the word about our next major building projects on campus: a new Center for Digital and Visual Arts, and major renovations and updates on our current Merillat Complex for Physical Education and Recreation. While these projects are just in the beginning stages of planning and fundraising, we hope to educate our own Huntington University community (students, faculty, and staff) about these two future projects as we seek to meet the growing and changing needs of our campus.

 

Basic Rules and Guidelines:

 

ALL STUDENTS ENTERING THE CONTEST MUST FIRST PICK UP CAMPAIGN INFORMATION FROM THE ADVANCEMENT OFFICE. Contact Beth Lahr (blahr@huntington.edu) or just stop by the Annex (second level) and ask for materials to find out more about the actual building projects.

 

In a fun, light-hearted, and humorous way, address some or all of the following:

Why do we need these building projects?

How will students benefit from this?

How might this give a ‘competitive advantage’ to HU over other schools?

The video must include the words “together,” “dream,” “plant,” and “grow.”

The video must also somehow incorporate the “Together” folder and Ron Coffey (both must be visible at some point in the video).

Video length should be no longer than one minute.

Only one entry per student is allowed.

Videos should be copied onto CD or DVD and delivered to Professor Matthew Ruiz. Each disk much be labeled with the student’s name, phone, email, major, and classification. Video data files may be in .MOV, .AVI, or .MPEG format, but must not exceed 1GB.

Entries will be judged by a panel of University faculty and staff. The decision of the judges is final.

 

Contest deadline is May 1

Winners announced by May 15

 

2 GRAND PRIZES for top 2 videos: iPod Touch

2 Runner-up Prizes: $50 Visa Gift cards

 

Contact Professors Lance Clark or Matthew Ruiz with any contest questions.

HU Theatre Presents:

SCAPIN

7:30PM and 9:30PM

 
Friday, April 3, 7:30 PM
Saturday, April 4, 2:00 and 7:30 PM

MCA Zurcher Auditorium

 

Vaudeville and Commedia dell' arte are seamlessly woven into an uproarious fable of scheming lovers, mistaken identities and clownish greedy servants. Balancing on a delicately taut tightrope of mischief and revenge, the crafty servant Scapin promises to help two pairs of wide-eyes lovers while juggling an array of elaborate disguises to keep their wealthy fathers from discovering the truth. Remaining true to Moliere's classic farcical tale from the seventeenth century, this fresh and side-splitting adaptation adds a late twentieth century spin to the language and hilarious non-stop action.
Tickets: $12 general admission, $10 students & seniors, $6 13 and younger, $5 HU students, $9 HU faculty/staff.
