Facilities Supporting COMM Programs and Activities

MC-TV, our cable television studio located in Wallace Hall 310, is a versatile facility with stage, lighting and audio equipment for producing newscasts and variety shows.  In 2005 the TV studio was upgraded with state of the art all-digital production equipment.  Regularly scheduled television programming is broadcast through a campus wide cable television station which is supervised by the CATA department.  MC-TV also supports the production and broadcast of student written and produced video and "short films." 

Radio station WMCR is a student operated campus station, located in the Stockdale Center and broadcasting through the campus cable system in FM stereo.  The station has two, new, professionally equipped audio broadcast studios located in the Stockdale Center, one “on-air” and one for production and laboratory work. The studio equipment used is like that in a commercial station.  Over 80 students participate in radio of television activities each semester.

In the Fall of 2004 a newly constructed  Computer/Media laboratory was opened in Wallace Hall with stations for 20 students using Windows based computers equipped with software for audio/video editing, multi-media production, graphic design, web authoring and other applications.

The Communication Studies departmental offices are located on the third floor of the college's main academic building, Wallace Hall.  Faculty offices, attractive and relaxing lounge furniture, a group meeting area, the departmental library and student work space make the office area a great place for students to drop by, meet with our very accessible faculty members, socialize with fellow COMM students
