CIT students presented their senior projects to faculty and fellow students on Friday, April 18. Subjects of the student presentations ranged from ethics of fairy tales to communication in long-term patient care.

The class students complete a substantial research paper, a technology project, and an oral presentation that highlights their research and showcases their project. CIT majors are required to pass the senior project class with a C or better in order to graduate—a fact that causes some graduates to quake in their boots.

In the fall semester, students complete proposals for the projects that they will present in the spring. They are assigned a faculty advisor who, in addition to instruction from their class professor, provides ongoing advice student preparations.

According to Dr. Amy Berke, Associate Professor of English and Coordinator, Communications & Information Technology Program, “Students rehearse the project many times before actual presentation. If a student has not made adequate progress on the project during spring semester of graduation or in completing an adequate senor project proposal in fall semester, we suggest that the student take the senior project class the following academic year in order to complete graduation requirements.”

Faculty advisors of the 2008 CIT graduates were Dr. David de Posada, Dr. Patrick Brennan, Sydney Chalfa, Dr. Nancy Bunker, Dr. Monica Young-Zook, Dr. Karmen Lenz and Dr. defines the CIT program as “an interdisciplinary program that assumes the continuing relevance of the humanities in the information age. The program explores, in particular, the many ways in which information technology has affected the production, publication, consumption, understanding and significance of language, art, and culture in the contemporary era.

The CIT program offers two tracks: one with a focus on new media communication, the other a focus on cross-cultural communication.

These tracks provide graduates with knowledge and skill necessary to succeed as professionals in a global, technological economy. Students graduate from the program with a critical understanding of language, literature and the arts; skill in high tech, digital communication; and a knowledge of the cultural forces that form and inform the worlds in which they live and work. Both tracks of the program emphasize writing, critical thinking, and hands-on technology projects.
