Student Involvement
Get involved and tell your story!
At Mane Media Productions, students are more than observers—they are creators, collaborators, storytellers, and problem-solvers. Guided by our motto, “Your Content Is Our Curriculum,” we transform real-world productions into meaningful learning experiences that help students make their own way and tell their own story.
As a service of Lindenwood University’s College of Arts and Humanities, Mane Media Productions provides immersive, hands-on opportunities for students to develop the power skills that are essential for success in any field, including critical thinking, creativity, effective communication, collaboration, and empathy. Through live and recorded productions, students learn by doing while exploring their interests, building confidence, and creating work that reflects their unique perspectives and talents.
Students work alongside faculty, staff, and media professionals to produce a variety of content, including:
- NCAA Division I athletic broadcasts on ESPN+
- Academic performances, concerts, and student productions
- University ceremonies and special events
- Educational programming
- Digital content for streaming and social media platforms
Whether your goal is to gain practical experience, explore creative passions, develop new skills, build your portfolio, or discover a future career path, there are several ways to get involved.
