During Spring Break, advertising senior Lorene Bauduy traveled to her native country to report on life after the storm for Haitian college students. Bauduy is one of only a handful of student volunteers involved in developing a pilot program to use Flip video cameras and blogging to document life after the earthquake both in Haiti and the Haitian community in Miami. Under the direction of advertising and public relations assistant professor Maria Elena Villar, the initial themes are “returning to education” and “perceptions of media coverage of the earthquake aftermath.”
Check out what Lorene discovered in the video below.
Our most impactful research:
I'm commend this work . very well done. more of this footage needs to be posted so that people will not forget Haiti. this tragedy needs stay fresh in peoples minds so that people will continue to lend there helping hand. This country must not be forgotten. I was there myself for 1 week in March and really got to interact with many of the Haitian people.
Good idea , bad footage ! there is also a lack of story. The tragedy is not a compeling story by itself anymore. Tell your teachers at SJMC to teach you better, its their job .
I don't believe there is any lack of story. In America we are so privileged to emergency response systems, a solid education system, and ways to react to a natural disaster. With these college students, once their directors and professors have died from the earthquake there is nothing to do and nowhere to go. Can you imagine going to FIU for two years to one day find it gone, and have no direction for where your life should go?
Very compelling, great story.
