The Media Institute promotes engagement with global media industries by supporting creative media practice, academic scholarship, and public-facing events initiated bythe faculty, staff, students, and alumni of the Fairfield University community. We seek to embolden and support on-campus journalism, storytelling, and production, as wellas the critical inquiry and social scientific study of film and television, broadcastcommunications and digital media within the College of Arts and Sciences, academic departments and student media organizations. We fulfill the University's mission by fostering connections beyond Fairfields campuses, encouraging thoughtful dialogues with media industries, and emphasizing student engagement.
