Now that I'm looking into graduate schools, I'm seeing just how lucky we are to have such superior facilities. I also highly recommend getting involved in at least one of Park's student media productions. Ithaca's student newspapers, television shows, and radio stations have won more awards than any other program I've looked at. Park is tough to beat!

The Roy H. Park School of Communications makes its home in Roy H. Park Hall, a high-tech facility that caters to television and radio broadcasting as well as photography, presentation, cinema, film, and multimedia development.
Future journalists have access to professional tools, such as AP ENPS, the premier broadcast newsroom computer system, and a rarity in undergraduate programs. Park is also home to state-of-the-art television and radio production facilities, as well as cable-broadcast ICTV, one of the oldest student-operated television production organizations in the world, and radio stations WICB and 106-VIC. The weekly student newspaper, the Ithacan, is annually recognized as one of the best student weekly newspapers in the country, having won numerous national awards. Communications students use the Park Hall facilities to produce documentaries, video series, weekly television shows, websites and presentation materials, radio broadcasts throughout the day, and plenty more.
The Portable Equipment Center and Services (PECS) provides students with a vast array of film, photography, audio, and video equipment. Park houses editing suites, darkrooms, lighting studios, and imaging labs, so students can see their projects through every phase of production. The facility's professional staff is well equipped to answer questions and guide students' work.
Also in the building are the College's writing department and the writing center. Here students serve as peer tutors, working in a computer lab that doubles as a writing space. The writing center strives both to help students become better writers and to foster the talents of advanced writers across campus.
