They will conduct ing week long workshops each month until the end of the semes ter. Securing the neccessary equipment has been a slow process, but the program has been successful with what they have. Anthony believes the equipment needs to be expedited much sooner in order tcLhelp enhance student knowledge.

The program which tradi tionally supports Historical Black Colleges and Universities, is preparing CAU for an accredited technical photography and desk top publishing curriculum . “It’s a challenge for the technicians to teach their craft because of the student’s eager ness," said Michael Anthony, a senior photographer.
