To this end, the CCE strives to integrate reflection into as many programs and projects as possible to include exploring the causes of social problems and one’s personal identity and orientation or relationship to the social problem. Thus, the CCE is committed to facilitating students understanding of social problems and issues that are created, exacerbated, and/or perpetuated by systems of oppression. Furthermore, the CCE works to implement programs that are inclusive and accessible to students and participants from diverse backgrounds. CCE programming efforts focused on diversity and social justice include the hunger discussion and Faces of Homelessness panel during National Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week, and the Alternative Break trips. Alternative Break trips focus on community and cultural understanding, reflection on elements of one’s social identity (both marginalized and privileged), and reflection on the difference between charity or short term relief efforts and working to address root causes. National Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week includes OSU students, faculty/staff in Student Affairs and the Corvallis community).

MU Inclusive Community Initiative provided discussion topics, reflection sessions, and new cohort learning circles for the staff of the MU Organization. As media makers Student Media must ensure that students are well versed in media ethics, including giving voice to the voiceless. Students must understand the impact of the message they create, understand the relation of language to power within society and understand how to appropriately represent Student Media. Student Media also strives to have diverse student participation, so multiple views, backgrounds and interests are represented. o Once a term Student Media hosts a Media in Community seminar for students enrolled in NMC 409. The purpose is to introduce students to areas of diversity to better equip them as they produce content for and about the OSU community. The seminar addresses the media’s relation to its community. o This year’s Media in Community speakers were Staci Tucker, a graduate teaching fellow and PhD candidate at the University of Oregon, discussing Digital Games and Diversity; Anderson DuBoise and Dominique Austin, OSU students, discussing their production of the Black Beaver video; and Luhui Whitebear, Coordinator of the Native American Longhouse at OSU, discussing Imagery as Power. o Student Media also brings distinguished speakers to campus for Student Media Presents.

o Student Sustainability Initiative (SSI) § Schedule: The last program review of the Student Sustainability Initiative (SSI) was completed by the Student Incidental Fees Committee in 2012-2013. The last program review of Team Liberation/Coalition for Community Dialogue was completed by internal (to OSU) and external review teams 2012-2013. § Action Plan: SSI has fully implemented several of the recommendations that emerged from their FY13 program review. They are tracking all grant programs in-house. We have partially implemented recommendations to make progress on the Revolving Loan Fund, pending approval from AABC. o Team Liberation/Coalition for Community Dialogue § After Team Liberation’s program review, they made changes to the program name and structure for the 2013-2014 year. A decision was made to reallocate funding for the GTA position to develop and hire a brand new full-time professional Social Change Leadership Program Coordinator position in collaboration with Intercultural Student Services. A national search was conducted spring, 2014, and the new SCLPC was hired July, 2014. o Student Media underwent internal and external reviews in 2011-2012. § Outcomes and recommendations focused on three areas: • Personnel – advance new media digital skill sets and redefine position descriptions for current best practices • Practicum – evaluate current practicum options with New Media Communications • Policies and Procedures – update policies and procedures with new legal requirements and updated best practices § Former Director of Student Media Julia Sandidge encouraged all staff to pursue professional development opportunities to advance their new media/digital skill sets. She worked with all personnel to review their position descriptions. Position descriptions for some staff are still being evaluated, as we look toward co-location in the new SEC compared to our current separation of print and broadcast units. § Student Media and New Media Communications changed the practicum for Fall 2012, so that all three instructors used the same syllabus. In the past individual practicum sections were for each medium. This new format allows students to perform their practicum work in multiple media areas to hopefully increase media convergence and understanding in multiple media formats. Practicum has been limited to three instructors, 30 students each. Previously the instructor for KBVR was handling 100 plus students while the print instructors had 25 or less. § The University Student Media Committee policies and procedures were updated and reviewed by Human Resources and the University Legal Office. The committee adopted the policies and procedures in January 2013. During the summer of 2013 Student Media created a new handbook of our mission, vision and goals, general information about the department, rules and procedures and the University Student Media Committee policies and guidelines. This handbook condensed multiple handbooks from individual mediums into one document. The document is updated regularly and available to all on the Student Media website. § Student Media currently has an Interim Director and is conducting strategic planning. The department is also planning to move into the new Student Experience Center in December 2014. Once new leadership is in place a decision can be made about scheduling a future program review.
