When University of Mary Washington senior Steve McClanahan pitched a proposal last spring that secured a\u00a0Fund for Mary Washington Impact Grant<\/a>, it wasn\u2019t his first time appearing before a live audience.<\/p>\n

McClanahan has spent his college years participating in a weekly comedy show \u2013 think\u00a0Saturday Night Live\u00a0<\/em>\u2013 where students learn to pitch sketches, write scripts, operate camera equipment, edit video and produce live-streamed shows as part of a Digital Media Studio course.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought you\u2019d need to go to New York or Hollywood to do something like that,\u201d said McClanahan, a psychology major and communication and digital studies minor who has also\u00a0produced\u00a0Balancing Acts<\/em><\/a>, an online series through the UMW University Communications department\u2019s Lively video project. \u201cI\u2019ve gained so much professional experience from this.\u201d<\/p>\n

His passion for the project persuaded Cartland Berge, Digital Knowledge Center (DKC) director and adjunct instructor, to recruit Steve to share his story during the inaugural\u00a0Fund for Mary Washington Impact Grant<\/a> presentations in April. Together, they earned a $4,000 Impact Grant for a new broadcast panel in the Hurley Convergence Center\u2019s (HCC) Charnoff Production Studio. A recent gift from Mikhael Charnoff \u201995 and wife Katie Valentine Charnoff \u201904 helped purchase a new production desk to house the broadcast panel, providing increased accessibility for students and faculty.
