Warmest congratulations on your graduation!!
UVA's Department of Media Studies analyzes media culture, technology, labor, literacy, policy, infrastructure, and inequity. Our goal is to provide students with the tools to evaluate and shape media. With global reach, our faculty and students examine media from a variety of perspectives that include media history, aesthetics and form, audience analysis, media uses, the impact of media on public opinion, and the relations between media and the law.

I decided to take Speaking in Public in the fall of 2018 to fulfill my practice of media requirement. I hated public speaking so I figured it was a good change to try and change that, or at the very least get better at it. Looking back, it definitely made the top three for my favorite classes at UVA. Not only did I end up getting much better at public speaking, I actually like it now. As the very shy person I am, I never in a million years imagined myself saying that. I can't thank Colleen Kelly enough for making that class what it became for me!
The AMAZING Media Studies Class of 2020!

The garden behind Pavilion VII. It's seen me at my best and worse. It's been there for me throughout all of my years at this wonderful university.

Walks at night from the library made better by passing the rotunda on the way home.

I am on leave this year, but I truly miss the warm smiles and bright insights of the media studies students. The vibrant energy of the UVA media studies community brings me tremendous joy, from reading remarkable papers to learning about cool new media from students and faculty. Don't hesitate to connect on Twitter@shotinshanghai. I look forward to staying in touch!

Congratulations to the Media Studies graduates! I have had the good fortune of teaching many of you over the last few years, and I have loved each semester of working with you. As you move on to the next phase of your lives, I encourage you to, as I often say in class, "pursue your passion." I hope to see you all at your fall graduation ceremony, and please let us know where life takes you!
