I was running an errand for him at the time so I missed most of his presentation so in case anyone wanted more information on this truly significant opportunity we have, here's some quotes from an article about last year's event I was reading from earlier this morning:</p> <p>"Film Your Issue entries continue to pour in from enthusiastic 16 to 25 year olds from around the globe. FYI - Film Your Issue, an unprecedented Internet-based global competition sponsored by some of the leading global media companies and cause organizations - Yahoo!, Jumpcut, a Yahoo! company, USA TODAY, Starz, Universal Pictures, The United Nations Department of Public Information (UNDPI), The Humane Society of the United States, The Natural Resources Defense Council and ASCAP - asks young adults a poignant question: "What's Your Issue?" empowering them to add their voices to the public dialogue on pressing contemporary issues. The competition provides a vivid snapshot of what's on the minds of young people today and highlights the way that today's technology enables every individual to have a media voice."</p> Business Affairs Thu, 31 Jan 2008 23:57:03 -0500 http://senate.web.cmu.edu/contact <p>Student Senate<br /> Carnegie Mellon University<br /> UC Mailbox 46<br /> 5032 Forbes Avenue<br /> Pittsburgh, PA 15213<br /> Telephone: 412-268-2115</p> <h2>General</h2> <ul> <li><a href="mailto:jitkowit@andrew.cmu.edu">Chair</a></li> <li><a href="mailto:jitkowit@andrew.cmu.edu">Executive Committee</a></li> </ul> <p> <hr size="1" width="100%"></p> Business Affairs Mon, 02 Jan 2006 16:33:52 -0500 http://senate.web.cmu.edu/committees/ba Business Affairs Wed, 14 Sep 2005 01:35:48 -0400
