Collaboration is a key component of 满帆’s approach to education, and building a creative community is the goal of the university’s latest partnership with Rollins College.

The two institutions have been teaming up for several years — 福克斯电影节上的节目制作学生, 一年一度的现场音乐庆祝活动，以造福北朝鲜, the college radio station owned and operated by Rollins. And 学生 from Rollins’ Department of 音乐 have recently partnered with 满帆 audio 学生 to record classical ensemble tracks. The sessions are held monthly in 满帆’s Audio Temple and run by advanced 录音艺术 学生. 音乐制作 学生 are also on hand to observe the recording process. The relationship is mutually beneficial to both groups, says 满帆 educator and Program Director of 音乐制作 Russ Gaspard.

“It’s a huge win for us because it allows us to expose our 学生 to not just classical ensemble but also instruments they’re not used to — strings, 风, 和角. Most of our 学生 play drums, keyboards, or guitar — essentially pop music instruments. We ask the audio 学生 to use a lot of virtual instruments for sequencing, but since we don’t have a performance degree they’re not really exposed to the actual instruments. So it’s really good for them to be involved in the sessions,他说.

现在，这两所学校再次联手. 的学生 满帆’s Dan Patrick School School of 运动比赛转播 are lending their voices to the Rollins athletic department by calling all of the college’s home sporting events.

"When you come to a sporting event at Rollins College you will now get the best of both Rollins College student athletes and 满帆 sportscasting 学生,内特·韦扬特说, Assistant Athletic Director for Strategic 通信 for Rollins. "We are happy to provide the next generation of sportscasters with live-action and engaging stories to hone their skills — it's a win-win for both schools."

The partnership was the brainchild of program director Gus Ramsey — a 21-year veteran of ESPN and graduate of Rollins. When Gus took over the sportscasting program last year, he recognized the value in providing 满帆 学生 with real-world experience and the Rollins community with quality color commentary. Gus used his status as a Rollins alumnus to start the conversation; Dan and 满帆’s education team quickly got on board with the idea, 剩下的就是历史了.

Speaking on behalf of the entire 满帆 community, President Garry Jones expressed excitement at the beginning of the partnership.

“We are extremely proud of our educational collaboration with Rollins College, and for the vast learning opportunities it provides for the 学生 of both of our institutions,他说. “The latest announcement of 学生 within 满帆’s Dan Patrick School of 运动比赛转播 now having the ability to lend their skills to calling the action at numerous Rollins athletics home games allows for yet another facet of our valuable partnership to unfold. I encourage folks in the community to join me in attending these events, to see both 满帆 and Rollins 学生 in action, and to support these talented young athletes and future sportscasters. 我期待在那里见到你!”
