Students love this one-of-a-kind opportunity to engage with immersive VR documentary!
Chi-Jang Yin's Experimental Documentary students visited the Center to speak with Joshua Tsui and experience the transformative potential of Immersive Filmmaking. The trio of works, namely "Traveling While Black," "Step Into the Line," and "The Choice," exemplified the innovative elevation of documentary narrative techniques via emerging technologies.

“Negotiation for Professionals,” 3-Day Certificate Program at Northwestern University
My goal is to promote dialogues and facilitate discussions with a diverse pool of individuals and to include all voices. I feel grateful to meet and learn from three amazing teachers:
Leonard Riskin (Chesterfield Smith Professor of Law at the University of Florida Levin College of Law), Daniel L. Shapiro (Director of Harvard International Negotiation Program and Associate Professor of Psychology, Harvard University), and Katie Marie (Negotiation for Professionals Faculty, Northwestern University).
