The College of Mass Communication and Media Arts has several ways for students, faculty, staff, and alumni to connect with us.

Social Networks

• SIUC MCMA facebook account - We posts links to SIUC and MCMA news, post comments, upload photos and videos and feature work.
• Global Media Research Center facebook account - GMRC events, updates, and news.
• Linked In MCMA Group - Connect with other MCMA faculty/staff, students and alumni in this professional network.
• Flickr Photostream - Curious what students are up to? As we collect photos of students and faculty at work we are organizing them online using a Flickr photostream. These photos are meant to show some of our many hands-on opportunities.
• Twitter - Curious what events and news that the MCMA has going on? Twitter is a service that allows us to enter in a short 140 character update. If you register with Twitter you can than follow us and even set your phone to get txt message updates.
• Youtube - Our youtube channel has videos created by students. The videos are limited to a 10 minutes in length.
• SIUC Youtube EDU - The campus SIUC youtube channel. Videos can be as long as 60 minutes, therefore we have our GMRC videos hosted on this channel.
• SIUC on iTunes U - The University is using iTunes U to distribute audio and video focusing on teaching and learning. Our longer videos are featured here and because MCMA has had a large involvement in iTunes U you can find plenty of videos produced by MCMA faculty and students.
