📝 Abstract
[Summary generated by AI] This video presents three applied-learning case studies from the University of Minnesota’s College of Liberal Arts, each narrated by the person interviewed. In the first segment, the person interviewed, a Fine Arts and Global Studies student, draws on the resources of the Oratorio Society of Minnesota and the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts, researching choral repertoire and translating musical analysis into visual imagery; the method integrates contextual research and visual interpretation, culminating in a deliverable suite for a Remembrance Day concert. In the second, the person interviewed, a Strategic Communication, Design, and Leadership student, leverages CLAgency’s departmental newsletters and social media channels to execute editorial planning and engagement strategies; an external internship at Fast Horse extends these methods to large-scale deliverables, including event planning for Deluxe’s centennial and campaign management for Champs Sports, Diet Coke, and Sprite, yielding measurable gains in time management, research, and leadership. In the third, the person interviewed, a Political Science and Business student, uses the Somali Museum of Minnesota’s collections and community networks to coordinate outreach events and awareness campaigns, advancing museum visibility. Collectively, these narratives demonstrate liberal arts competencies in research-driven practice, cross-sector communication, community engagement, and professional preparation.
