ANNUAL REPORT: 2010-2011 ACADEMIC PROGRAMMING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Park Scholars participate in an array of programming that develops both intellectual engagement and professional expertise. For example, Park Scholars who receive grant funding for projects that expand their horizons outside of the classroom participate in a spring colloquium that affords them the opportunity to share the knowledge gained from their experiences with other Park Scholars. In addition, Park Scholar juniors take part in a Leadership Workshop that not only trains the Scholars about various leadership strategies and challenges, but also creates a forum in which Scholars collaborate and learn from one another. Finally, through biannual Saturday Seminars, they debate issues and ideas of key significance to communications scholars and practitioners of the twenty-first century. Additionally, Park Scholars’ professional development is not only fostered through the workshops and networking efforts of our Park Scholar alumni, but also through our hugely successful New York City Shadowing Trip. During this October trip, Scholars were paired with Park School alumni and communications professionals who hosted them for a full day at such varied organizations as The Nation, CBS Radio, ESPN, Good Morning America, Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR), Rolling Stone, Sesame Workshop, Nick Jr., Democracy Now!, Transient Pictures, PostWorks NY, MTV2, Edelman PR, Scientific American, and WABC-TV. The shadowing experience, now in its twelfth year, has enabled the Scholars to gain insight into varied careers and industries and to network with professionals in the field of communications.

PARK SCHOLAR PROGRAM SCHOLARS IN ACTION Park Scholar service commitments range from facilitating a literary circle at the Longview residential senior community, to tutoring at area schools such as South Hill Elementary School. Scholars provide service across the country during Alternative Spring Break and on Habitat for Humanity builds, and walk away the hours during the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. They complete research around the globe, and study and intern through Ithaca College’s programs in Los Angeles and London. Finally and in the Roy H. Park School of Communications, Scholars are active members of WICB and VIC radio stations, ICTV, The Ithacan, 360 Magazine, and Buzzsaw magazine. But while Scholars may take a break from the classroom during the summer months, they rarely take a break from their commitment to service and the desire to learn as much as they can about the field of communications. During the summer 2011, Scholars attended leadership conferences in New York and backpacked in Wyoming with National Outdoor Leadership Skills; volunteered at a local watershed conservancy as well as on the Appalachian Trail; and assisted in their local communities at churches, summer camps, and homeless shelters. In addition, Park Scholars interned with Democracy Now!, Maysles Films, Concern Worldwide, Sesame Workshop, Insignia Films, In These Times, The American Prospect, The Institute for Policy Studies, Stone Soup Films, the Minnesota Children’s Museum, The Bilerico Project, MTV/Viacom, Allied Integrated Marketing, Institute for Public Accuracy, Mullen advertising agency, Transient Pictures, Newsmotion, and numerous other newspapers, television stations, and media outlets.
