The new facilities that will serve as the headquarters for Elon's new interactive media master's program provide sophisticated computer technology and a comfortable environment for the 37 graduate students.

Networking. It's a buzz word that certainly caroms through the halls of Elon's School of Communications. Students are taught to make connections and establish relationships with human resources personnel, internship directors and professionals in the media field. They do it because one day, even the most chance encounter could lead to an internship or a job.

Peter Kiwitt, an assistant professor in the School of Communications, was a consulting producer for FilmNation Entertainment in Los Angeles this summer.
