Alumni at Work
We're so happy to hear from our alums about the terrific jobs and internships they get after spending a summer studying with us. Here are a few updates we've recently received: -
Leah Bigelow (San Jose State University), Urbino 2009, is the managing editor for Jetset Extra, an online travel resource. In a recent interview Leah said, "The time I
spent in Urbino really solidified the fact that journalism was the right career choice for me. [It] also gave me an introduction to travel writing and taught me how to see the unique and wonderful aspects of the places I visit and the place where I live."
- Jaena Rae Cabrera (San Francisco State University), Armagh 2009, is a web producer for the Center for Investigative Reporting.

Program Focus: Urbino, Italy
|
 Create a Tablet Magazine in Urbino, Italy Many say the Renaissance started in Urbino, Italy, under the patronage of Duke Federico da Montefeltro, whose twin-turreted palace now houses an outstanding collection of period art. Urbino, still a home to learning and culture, lies on a hill top between the Apennine Mountains and the Adriatic Sea in the northern part of central Italy's Marche Region. This summer, students in the Urbino Project will work with a team of experienced media professionals to create a multimedia publication about this unique region that will be published as both a website and an iPad app. During the four-week program, students will learn to tell compelling stories that combine text, video, audio, graphics, maps, and interactive elements. With language students from the University of Urbino acting as interpreters, program students will learn to report and research a story in a new culture, experiencing what it's like to be a foreign correspondent. In addition, students will learn basic Italian, and will live and learn at the University of Urbino, with all meals included. Get a taste of what to expect in this video of the 2012 program by James Madison University professor Steve Anderson, and find out more on the ieiMedia website. |

IeiMedia, a pioneer in journalism education, has been taking students abroad since 2002. It was founded by Andrew Ciofalo, now a professor emeritus at Loyola University Maryland.
Our projects aim to educate students in various media disciplines while at the same time inspiring them to explore a foreign culture. For each project, students produce a publication--a multimedia website, print or digital magazine or book--about the community where they live and learn. Nearly 450 students have participated in these programs.
