October 1, 2014
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue's Brian Lamb School of Communication will celebrate the renovation of its digital media production center with an open house Friday (Oct. 3).
The event, which is free and open to the public, is 1:30-2:30 p.m. in Stewart Center, Room B22. Brian Lamb, Purdue alumnus and founder and executive chairman of C-Span, also will be in attendance.
The Brian Lamb School of Communication Digital Media Production Center open house will highlight how the studio is used on a daily basis, including the area where Fast Track is filmed and produced. Fast Track is a student-produced half-hour weekly newsmagazine. The program appears on local cable in Tippecanoe County, Indiana and on the Purdue campus.
Communication students; Doug Osman, clinical assistant professor of communication; and Scott Schroeder, continuing lecturer in communication, will talk about how the center is used and there will be opportunities for guests to participate in a few interactive productions.
Earlier that day, Lamb will speak to the GS 300, LA (Liberal Arts) Influentials course that is offered to liberal arts students and taught by Irwin Weiser, Justin S. Morrill Dean of Liberal Arts. This talk will be 11:30 a.m. to 12:20 p.m. in Lawson Building, Room 1142. The lecture is free and open to the public as seating allows.
Lamb earned a bachelor's degree in speech in 1963, and received an honorary doctorate from liberal arts in 1986.
