 Well, lights, camera, action. BSU unveiled its new state-of-the-art student media center at a ribbon cutting ceremony today. The new facilities have a million dollar price tag and renovations include a new radio broadcast booth, refurbished television studio and work area. The space gives students an opportunity to work on their monthly magazine, the Northern Student, also KBSU channel, KBSU's cable channel and student run radio station FM90. With a new building came a new mass communications now the department of integrated media. The goal is to encourage student learning and career success. I think what's most exciting is that we've been able to bring all the facilities into one center and so students working in different areas can collaborate and they can share digital resources and we're on a digital server so it's a little bit more like a progressive current system that you'd find in broadcasting. The project for the Student Media Center began in February 2015 when BSU alumni and the foundation's board of directors provided a quarter of a million dollars. The space was previously used by us Lakeland Public Television for production of our news and other local shows. BSU renovated the space after we moved to our new facility near Bemidji's Sanford Center.
