Picture of Marshall Media Arts Students with Paul Santinelli, Ex. Dir. of College Rugby Assoc.

Paul Santinelli, Executive Director of the College Rugby Association of America, joined Marshall Close Up today as a special guest. Following the interview, Santinelli, on behalf of the CRAA, generously donated a new Da Vinci Replay Deck to the Media Arts program. This professional-grade equipment will elevate live sports streaming at MCHS, giving students real-world experience with industry-standard technology.

Even more exciting, the CRAA is providing an incredible hands-on opportunity for six MCHS Media Arts students this weekend. These students will be working the Women’s College Rugby Nationals in Indianapolis, gaining firsthand experience in live event production at a national-level sporting event.

Marshall Close Up is a student-produced interview program created entirely by Marshall Media Arts students, designed to give them authentic, career-ready production experience both in the studio and in the field.
