Arts & Sciences HUMANities x Tech series—an interdisciplinary exploration of how the arts, humanities, and social sciences can (and must) shape the future of technology, especially artificial intelligence.

SKYWORLD features our new Film and Media professor and artist Amelia Winger-Bearskin in an interactive discussion on AI and housing  futures, as well as a live musical performance, and screening of a short film I Would Like to Be Midnight / I Would Like to Be Sky.  This event reflects on AI, homelessness, and the possibilities of co-creation for social good. Through performance, film, and dialogue, it explores how technology shapes who is seen, who is housed, and who is cared for.

Weds., May 6 from 2:00–4:00 PM in the Faculty & Staff Café, West Building, 8th Floor. RSVP here.

We hope to see you there—come curious, come thoughtful, and come hungry. Food by an Indigenous chef will be served.

Congratulations to journalism alum Sydney Sepp on her new role with the WNBA.

Sepp has joined the league as a social content publisher, leading live game coverage across Meta and YouTube. In the role, she covers games in real time—highlighting major plays, momentum shifts, and defining moments as they unfold.

She credits her Visual Storytelling class with Professor Marcus Harun for helping prepare her for this position.

“Learning from someone actively working at NBC, alongside the journalists he regularly invited into the room, made the experience feel grounded in the real industry from the start,” Sepp said. “That work allowed me to show the WNBA the kind of storytelling I wanted to pursue professionally.”

Harun is a line producer for the award-winning broadcast NBC News Daily and was a practitioner-in-residence professor in the Journalism Program.
