Francesca Boville is a media arts and technology junior who received a study abroad scholarship. She participated in the Technology and Culture: Communication and Games in Japan study abroad program this summer. “Studying abroad in Japan was one of the best experiencesI’ve ever had. Meeting and conversing with Japanese universitystudents, visiting major companies, and sightseeing across the country were all incredible opportunities that I would have never experienced if I hadn’t chosen to study abroad. I also met and got to know fellow MSU students who I never would have gotten to know otherwise. Studying abroad in Japan was a once in a lifetime opportunity, and I’m so grateful I experienced it.”

“Malawi and Malaria: Fighting to Save the Children” collected two 2011 regional Emmy awards – one for best documentary-cultural and one for best writing. The documentary, produced by Bob Gould and Sue Carter from the School of Journalism, focused on MSU’s work and progress in Malawi to help children who contract malaria. The documentary highlights the work being done by MSU facultymember Terrie Taylor over the past 24 years in Malawi, includinga $9.1 million federal grant to create new prevention and controlstrategies in the small African nation. In this photo, producer and faculty member Bob Gould gave the Malawi children the chance to record some of their surroundings. He promptly snapped the moment with his camera.

MSU senior Patrick Ronan, who graduated in May with a double major in telecommunication, information studies, and media and advertising, created a brand catalog for Pogo Nip Technologies, a clothing store for snowboarders, for an advertising class that received a gold award and a People’s Choice Award at the Mid-Michigan Addy Awards this spring. “I had just downloaded a word of the day application on myphone and “pogonip” was the word of the day. It is an icy fog in themountains, and I thought it would be the perfect name for a company,” said Ronan. The ADDY Awards is the advertising industry’s largest and most representative Competition. Conducted annually by the American Advertising Federation (AAF), the local ADDY Awards are the ﬁrst of a three-tier, national competition.

The country was incredibly beautiful, and the people were very helpful and polite. I was always impressed at how hard the locals tried to help me and my fellow classmates when we had a question. The technology was also remarkable, the cell phones we saw had 1080p streaming, which is full HD, and used 18megapixel cameras. I also learned about augmented reality, which is the concept of using an everyday object and altering one’s perception of it through a device such as a computer. Through this trip to Japan, I was also able to reunite with my grandfather, who I have only met once before. We were able to spend the afternoon together, and it also gave me a good opportunity to really practice my Japanese. I would like to once again express my thanks for the scholarship that assisted in making this study abroad opportunity possible.” Rebecca Konishi media arts and technology student Contact the CAS Office of Advancement at 517-432-6514 or make a gift online at: givingto.msu.edu
