Campus Champion

When Mitchell Ensman ’17 transferred to SUNY Cortland two years ago, the new communication media major quickly connected with hands-on projects in filmmaking, broadcasting and web development. He will spend his final semester leading student-run CSTV-20, serving as promotional director and webmaster for WSUC radio and working as event coordinator and submission manager for the Blackbird Film Festival. Named Blackbird’s Best Student Director 2017 for his film “Spick and Span,” he recently added one more project to his portfolio when he and Sam Avery, assistant professor of communication studies, produced the College’s #YouAreWelcomeHere film in September.
