Public Service Broadcasting of Live-Televised Events

Course: DMET 210, 310, 410

Students utilize their studio production skills to produce a three to four-day live televised auction or telethon for a local organization such as the Pocono Medical Center/Hughes Cancer Center, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Red Cross, and ESU’s own Warrior Sports.
