Video Institute Hosts Screening

Monday, April 30 at 7:30 p.m.

The Canisius College Video Institute will host a screening of their video documentary on the Buffalo Central Terminal on Monday, April 30 at 7:30 p.m. in the Montante Cultural Center.

Russell Pawlak, president of the Buffalo Central Terminal Restoration Corp., will speak at the event. The video was produced by digital media arts majors Kirsten Jahn ’07 and Scott Richardson ’09, who will also be on hand to discuss their work with the Video Institute.

The Canisius College Video Institute provides students with the opportunity to put their classroom lessons to work on projects that will benefit the college and the community at large. Students produce documentaries and promotional videos for local and international not-for-profit and service agencies that otherwise would not have the resources to tell their stories in this way.

The Canisius College Video Institute is funded in part by the John R. Oishei Foundation and directed by Barbara Irwin, PhD, chair of the Communication Studies Department.

Canisius College is one of 28 Jesuit Colleges in the nation and the premier private college in Western New York. Canisius prepares leaders – intelligent, caring, faithful individuals – able to pursue and promote excellence in their professions, their communities and their service to humanity.
