HAMPTON, Va. (January 21, 2021) – Hampton University students have 24 hours to enroll in one of the most exciting courses being offered at the Scripps Howard School of Journalism and Communications (SHSJC).

JAC 453 Gaming and Virtual Reality Production is a new course being taught in the new Augmented and Virtual Reality Lab in the Scripps Howard School Building in Room 148.

"Within the past four days, some of the media industry's top companies have tapped on our doors looking for creative talent," Scripps Howard School Dean B. DàVida Plummer said. "While students are in remote learning, I want to amplify the call for them to take advantage of the skills we are teaching that can lead to exciting careers."

Students taking JAC 453 with Scripps Howard Endowed Professor Willie Moore are among the first to utilize the lab, and there are a few spots left. Registration for this course will be open until January 22.

"The students who are already in the class are really excited about all the different things they will get to do this semester," Moore said.

The course features Augmented Reality, 3D motion, 3D content for gaming, Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, animation paint and sound mixing. Last fall, SHSJC partnered with EON Reality to bring students the Augmented Virtual and Reality Lab to further enhance the school's already celebrated Center for Innovation in Digital Media. The Digital Innovation and Gaming Studio course joins Animation and Motion Graphics, Web Design and Production, Social and Multimedia Analytics, and Advanced Media Analytics as courses taught through the Center for Innovation. Augmented Reality, or AR, is the simple combination of real and virtual, or computer-generated, objects. AR provides an interactive experience of a real-world environment where the objects in the real world are enhanced by computer-generated graphics and text. There are computers that will render HD graphics, animations and video, along with a virtual reality display measuring 8 feet tall by 40 feet wide to immerse the entire classroom in the experience.

The Veterinary Information Network News Service is accepting applications for its summer 2021 news reporting internship.

We are seeking a wordsmith who is deeply curious about the world, dogged in the pursuit of answers and a stickler for accuracy, with the self-discipline to work from home.

The VIN News Service is an independent media outlet that reports news of interest and importance to veterinarians around the world. The topics we cover span business, medicine, science, technology, government and the law. VIN News is part of the Veterinary Information Network, an online membership community for veterinarians.

VIN is based in Davis, California, but the VIN News staff works remotely. The intern will communicate with the news team primarily by Slack, telephone, email and Zoom. The position is 25 to 30 hours a week for 10 to 12 weeks, with flexible start and end dates to accommodate the intern's academic calendar.

The internship is an opportunity to publish substantial bylined articles (upwards of 1,000 words); identify and develop story ideas; practice investigative reporting techniques; edit and proofread; and, if interested, help develop podcasts. An outstanding performer may be invited to continue working with VIN after the internship is complete.

To apply:

Email us at dropboxnews@vin.com with your resume, three nonfiction writing samples (news clips preferred if available), two references, and responses to the following

1. Find a story on http://news.vin.com that captures your interest and attention. In 200-400 words, explain and elaborate on your reaction to it.

2. Imagine you are assigned a story about Best Dog Food Ever, which has just announced a recall due to contamination of its kibble that appears to have sickened dozens of dogs, some fatally. You would like to interview the company's head of quality control. Write the subject line and body of an email in which you introduce yourself, explain the story you are working on and request an interview.

3. What sources do you turn to for news? Why are these your preferred sources

4. In video of one to two minutes, introduce yourself and tell why you are interested in exploring a career in journalism. If reporting on veterinary medicine and the veterinary profession are of particular interest to you, explain why.

Application deadline: March 1.
