Esteemed colleagues,
I need some help with a small project. I want to create a short 30-second video that expresses my passion, creativity and personality. I’d like to add this video to my LinkedIn profile, and I’d like for it to complement my resume.
Does anyone know of any cinema and media communication or film and video production majors who may be interested? I’d be happy to compensate anyone willing to help me with this.
Thanks!

Legacy students are students who have at least one parent or grandparent who is considered an alumni of an undergraduate or graduate degree program at George Fox University.
In order to thank these students and their families for their continued commitment to George Fox, we will present graduating legacy students with a legacy stole that may be worn during spring commencement to display their family legacy. There is no cost for the legacy stole; the stole is our way of recognizing families that have shown a long-term dedication to George Fox.
If you are interested in ordering a legacy stole to celebrate your family’s continued commitment to George Fox University, please contact Megan Fisher, associate director of parent programs, at mfisher@georgefox.edu, no later than today (Monday, April 3).
