A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
The Emergent Media Center (EMC) at Champlain College is a laboratory/studio environment in which students work with partnering organizations to create transformative media approaches to serious games, social media, mobile, and digital platforms on topics that include social causes, health and medicine, business, communication, education, and training. The EMC was founded upon the belief that media communication plays a pivotal role in addressing real-world problems, while recognizing that technology alone isn’t an answer. When correctly designed, technology amplifies positive action. The EMC partners with private companies, non-profits, foundations, and entrepreneurs through grants, contracts, and exploratory sponsorships to create positive impact in the local and global community. EMC collaborations include Ford Foundation, IBM, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the United Nations. Students at the EMC gain real-world experience and EMC partners have the opportunity to work with talented young professionals developing cutting edge technology.
Summer 2016 projects include creating a film campaign for the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources regarding the implementation of Act 148: Universal Recycling Law and a Climate Change Game Brainstorm, co-hosted by Ottawa, Canada-based climate and energy specialists, Smarter Shift. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/climate-change-gameapp-brainstorm-tickets-25432607614
