Disabled Student Development (DSD) sponsored two of
Tim Pollard's Telecommunications 434 courses this semester in creating two public service announcements (PSAs) on the need for captioning in media. The students worked together in groups to develop a 30-second PSA based on a script that students in Barry Umansky's Telecommunications 680 course created the previous semester. Additionally, the students produced a second PSA for which they developed both the script and the PSA.
Our staff judged the 20 PSAs that were created and selected the two best.
Barry Umansky submitted the two PSAs to the National Association of Broadcasters for local televisions stations to use.
