Education Program Assistant/Program Coordinator At Or Media
Current
Eugene, Oregon
OR Media is a digital creative team within the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication that harnesses the talent, passions, and energy of our students to produce compelling stories and branded media content for University partners and external entities. We specialize in video production, motion graphics, photography, and podcasting--and we're always happy to refer folks to alternative University groups and resources when they have requests that fall outside of the services we offer.In my role as an Education Program Assistant, and as the Program Coordinator for OR Media, I'm involved in everything from client acquisition, project management, student hiring and supervision, creative story development, fundraising, filming and editing, and contracting, budgeting, and accounting. I also serve as the faculty advisor of our "little sibling" organization at the University called Allen Hall Media, a student-run media production agency that works with its own clients during the academic year.

The result is the exponential outflow of professional-caliber work––in excess of 300 video projects––that has captured and conveyed many of the university’s, and our community's, most compelling stories. Last year alone, OR Media produced over 70 videos across documentary, commercial, and educational genres. These projects have raised the university’s profile and paved the way for student writers, videographers, animators, and designers to graduate with portfolio work samples and that result in employment.
