MEDIA MENTOR OF THE YEAR: ELIZABETH DALEY
Recently rebranding the USC film department the 'School of Cinematic Arts,' Dean Daley insists on preparing for as-yet-uninvented forms of communication.
Daley helps USC embrace change
Don't call it a film school. USC's School of Cinematic Arts (SCA) rejects the notion of an old-fashioned celluloid-centric program to encompass training in all of today's rapidly evolving media, including digital video, mobile phone apps, immersive environments, online webisodes and videogames.
Guiding the university to the pole position in cinema studies is Dean Elizabeth Daley, who embraces new initiatives and a digital/multimedia and cross-disciplinary approach to studying the art of the moving image. Despite her own department's 80-year track record, Daley is quick to point to one hurdle still facing all such programs: making people realize they are relevant in an academic setting.
