The Multimedia unit is a team of videographers and photographers who strive to capture an attractive and authentic sense of campus life at Georgia College that appeals to external audiences on the university’s website, social media and elsewhere.
Due to the extremely high number of requests fielded by the Multimedia team, projects are vetted/assigned based on their alignment with strategic priorities.
The team can only staff multimedia projects with legitimate marketing value — specifically, those with the potential to be promoted on multiple outlets/platforms.
