Communications Class Field Trip

By Jan Cornett
Communications Instructor - Cincinnati, Ohio

The morning Communications class in West Chester took advantage of an exciting opportunity; we visited the open house at St. Rita School for the Deaf. This visit coincided with our study of verbal communication and dove tailed perfectly into our lesson.

We learned so much about the hearing impaired and other learning and developmentally disabled students. The school has a “complete communication” philosophy. Students learn language and nonverbal skills to help them to become successful. We enjoyed our experience so much that we are still talking about it and drawing from it in class. We hope to expand this in coming quarters to include more students and more classes.

Services from the Cincinnati Dean of Students

Welcome students!

I am deeply committed to providing students with assistance while they navigate Antonelli’s unique college experience. My office assists students in the resolution of problems, provides information and referral about campus and community resources, and promotes initiatives that address students’ needs and interests. Whatever your question, need or interest, I can guide you—but only if you contact me! Located on the 7th floor of our central downtown location Cincinnati (Room 707), I can easily be reached at 513-824-7041.

The Office of the Dean of Students serves an important role in student learning and development at Antonelli, advancing the college's mission of teaching culture-current material while providing concentrated, career preparation. In addition, the DoS’ Office often acts as liaison between students, faculty and staff by providing a critical support structure for enriching the overall student experience.

Here are examples of how the Dean’s office helps Antonelli students:

▪ When a high-achieving interior design student was seeking application for a specialized art scholarship, the Dean wrote the letter of recommendation. The student got the award.

▪ When a student was hospitalized and feared getting behind in classes, the Dean worked with the student’s faculty and friends to deliver classroom assignments, worksheets and syllabi directives for their academic success.

The World in Motion

By Andrea Millette & Shanon Rice – Photography Department Cincinnati

The Photography Department at Antonelli College is excited to announce our expansion into the world of motion. This is an exciting time to be a photographer- with the evolution of creating a moment in time with a still image, to capturing a segment of time with motion. Surviving in the world of professional photography today, you have to be a multifaceted technician who has many skills. With the growth of the Internet and faster connectivity, still-photography is moving into the world of a motion-based medium more and more every day.

Whether you are creating art, telling a story, or just exercising a new means of expression, we all have a natural desire to speak with motion. Worldwide, photographers are embracing video as a new method of telling stories, and expanding those stories to more audiences. Technology is a tool. It’s what you do with it that really matters.
This quarter, May 1st-June 1st, 2010, we are holding the first Video Production I & Video Production II courses. These two classes occur in the second year of the program. All of the rotation classes focus on specific professional industry specializations within photography to give the students the best training and knowledge in preparing them for careers in photography. Video production has been added to our existing rotations of Portraiture I & II, Location Photography, Commercial Design, Nature and Documentary photography.
