Last year I coached Felony Misdemeanor, a drag queen, who talked about the history of drag and her drag household in Denver. It was so cool to get to know her through that process. We also had the world record holder in Olympic speed climbing do a talk with his coach, which was also really cool.&nbsp;</span></p><p dir="ltr"><i class="fa-solid fa-comments">&nbsp;</i>&nbsp;<span><strong>Best reason to join?</strong></span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>It is by far, the best opportunity for professional growth and development that I have had access to in college. We have a team of 60 people and a budget of more than $50,000, so you are essentially participating in a small production company—you learn skills that you can’t learn in a classroom. It is also the No. 1 thing employers will ask about on your resume.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><i class="fa-solid fa-comments">&nbsp;</i>&nbsp;<span><strong>So, help me understand: If I were to join, what work would I be doing?</strong></span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>We work pretty much year round to put on the event. Our members are split into 12 teams, all working on different aspects of the organization—from finance to community outreach. That’s one of the coolest things about TEDxCU—whatever major you are, we have a job tailored for your skill set.&nbsp;</span></p><p dir="ltr"><i class="fa-solid fa-comments">&nbsp;</i>&nbsp;<span><strong>That's amazing that so many majors are valued at TEDxCU. What CMDI-specific skills does the club help students to develop?&nbsp;</strong></span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>There’s a lot of marketing, PR and engagement. Endless communication with organizations in the community, trying to get them to participate, promote our program or even sponsor us financially. We also love folks who are good at public speaking, or want to grow their public speaking skills.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><i class="fa-solid fa-comments">&nbsp;</i>&nbsp;<span><strong>Tell me the most chaotic thing that’s ever happened during a show.</strong></span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>Two years ago we had some videos embedded in our slide deck. The video worked on rehearsal day, the video worked day of—and as soon as the event started, the lights dimmed and the video would not play! That was a disaster—it was video problem after video problem at that event.&nbsp;</span></p><p dir="ltr"><i class="fa-solid fa-comments">&nbsp;</i>&nbsp;<span><strong>If you could pick one person to speak at CU—dead or alive—who would it be?</strong></span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>I’m a political science nerd, so I would love to get a really iconic Supreme Court justice. Like, Ruth Bader Ginsburg or Ketanji Brown Jackson. I’d love to hear RBG talk about being a woman on the Supreme Court in a pioneering time, and her experiences and outlook on cases.&nbsp;</span></p><p dir="ltr"><em><span>Interested in joining TEDxCU?

They said they are motivated to research heavy topics because they believe it’s important to be curious and talk about difficult things. Creative work, they said, brings stories to the public in a digestible way, and inspires a sense of curiosity in viewers—which is even more powerful when that audience is students.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>“I get to teach undergraduates why media is important, and how and why you should engage with it,” Vann said. “I love talking to students about their intentions with the project versus how their peers interpreted it. And that’s where my creative practice comes in because I can share my own experiences working through a project and how I can be certain my audience receives the message I intend.”</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>It was this passion for teaching that led them to be one of six graduate students who represented the college at last year’s Institute on Teaching and Mentoring Conference, in Atlanta. Vann said it was a great opportunity to not only represent the college, but to also network with scholars from different fields, thus gaining new perspectives.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>Their advisor,&nbsp;</span><a href="/cmdi/people/critical-media-practices/betsey-biggs" rel="nofollow"><span>Betsey Biggs</span></a><span>, an assistant professor who’s working with them on the Pulse project, said Vann’s perspectives are a reason for their success.&nbsp;</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>“They are willing to bring a lot of different fields together, such as sound studies, gender studies, music, art, cultural theory, materiality and so on,” Biggs said.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>The Pulse team created a 24/7 web broadcast made up of eight individual audio channels. Alone, the channels are abstract, at times eerie and disjointed. For the full experience, users must listen with other participants, each using their own mobile device, in the same setting.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>The inspiration for the project was a graffiti wall at the site of the shooting, where survivors and allies left messages in remembrance of the victims. The wall was recently torn down; in contrast, Vann and the team hope to further develop the memorial, expanding the eight channels to 49—one for each victim of the shooting—and integrating voices into the broadcast stream.&nbsp;</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>“With the graffiti wall, you could see messages, but then they faded with time and new messages,” Vann said. “By allowing the community to contribute, it won’t have an end point—it will continue to be a space that holds memory and grief.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>“Community engagement is something that’s always been important to me and has been a big part of the research and work I’ve done here at CMDI.”</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>And their research has taken them beyond Boulder. Last summer, Vann was a research fellow for the Digital Justice Lab, at Dartmouth College, where they worked closely with faculty and data scientists on a project called Eugenic States, which tracks forced sterilizations in North Carolina, Iowa and California. There were thousands of historical documents to sort through—many of which were heavily redacted—that had to be rendered into data points.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>To make sense of the information, Vann created a booklet as well as an interactive digital platform that shows sterilizations filtered by age, assigned sex and county.

And this troop works within a lot of that framework, but helps expand our understanding of what it means to be an American.”</p><p><a href="https://arefugeofscouting.com/home" rel="nofollow"><em>A Refuge of Scouting</em></a> was accepted to, among others, the Maryland International Film Festival, which takes place this month, and, like Taylor’s other documentary work, will be shared via Public Broadcasting Service beginning in the fall.</p><p>The film, which Taylor co-directed with fellow CMDI professor <a href="/cmdi/people/critical-media-practices/pat-clark" rel="nofollow">Pat Clark</a>, is a continuation of work he did with P.J. Parmar, a medical doctor who owns and operates Mango House, a shared space for refugees in the western United States. The property is run for, and by, refugees, and was the subject of Taylor’s 2021 documentary, Mango House.</p><p>“Parmar was a Boy Scout himself, and he often said scouting was a safe space from facing racism, and he wanted that experience for refugees,” Taylor said.</p><h3>Building trust within refugee communities</h3><div class="ucb-box ucb-box-title-hidden ucb-box-alignment-right ucb-box-style-fill ucb-box-theme-white"><div class="ucb-box-inner"><div class="ucb-box-title">&nbsp;</div><div class="ucb-box-content"><p class="lead small-text"><i class="fa-solid fa-quote-right fa-3x fa-pull-right ucb-icon-color-gold">&nbsp;</i>“To engage in these spaces requires me to be a better person, a more empathetic person.”<br><br>Ross Taylor, assistant professor, journalism</p></div></div></div><p>Doing this kind of work, and immersing yourself in a community of refugees—especially children who have fled significant trauma—requires a special kind of personality. It’s an approach to work—and life—that Taylor brings to his projects and his classes from his nearly 20-year career as a photojournalist.</p><p>“Building trust within the populations I work with requires a high level of empathy—I’m working in spheres that involve traumatic events, or the aftereffects of trauma,” Taylor said. “To engage in these spaces requires me to be a better person, a more empathetic person.”</p><p>It’s a lesson he learned the hard way. As a photographer, Taylor was once scolded by a mother for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTS0Cq_Ywtw" rel="nofollow">taking a photo of a crying boy</a> after striking out during a youth baseball game. He credits that experience with teaching him to bring a more empathetic perspective to what he’s capturing.</p><p>And in class, that means showing students they can be empathetic, but also confident in using their voices to tell important stories. It shows up even in the simplest acts, like opening classes by asking students to share something good in their lives.</p><p>“It really warms up a classroom environment, and it sets an example of how I conduct myself in the work that I do,” Taylor said. “I want them to see empathy in action and think about what it means for them when they become professionals and leaders.”</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="ucb-article-content ucb-striped-content"> <div class="container"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--article-content paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="ucb-article-text" itemprop="articleBody"> <div><div class="row ucb-column-container"><div class="col ucb-column"> <div class="imageMediaStyle original_image_size"> <img loading="lazy" src="/cmdinow/sites/default/files/styles/original_image_size/public/2026-03/2026.03.24%20SCOUT-REFUGE%20football-2.jpg?itok=BXm-w599" width="3251" height="1829" alt="Two man wave to the camera from a football field."> </div> <span class="media-image-caption"> <p class="small-text">ĐÔĘӽ納ý Chancellor Justin Schwartz, right, recognized Ross Taylor with an End Zone Innovators Award at a Buffs home game in the fall. <em>Photo by Vivenne Malone.</em></p> </span> </div><div class="col ucb-column"> <div class="imageMediaStyle original_image_size"> <img loading="lazy" src="/cmdinow/sites/default/files/styles/original_image_size/public/2026-03/2026.03.24%20SCOUT-REFUGE%20lonescout-2.jpg?itok=Wa8e-kae" width="1431" height="805" alt="A boy stands at the edge of a forest lake."> </div> <span class="media-image-caption"> <p class="small-text">Ross Taylor credits his sense of empathy with helping him build trust among the people whose stories he tells in his work, including his most recent documentary about a Boy Scout troop made up of refugees.&nbsp;</p> </span> </div></div><p>In <em>A Refuge of Scouting</em>, Taylor shows how the values of scouting look through the eyes of young refugees from around the world. Early work on the film began before Donald Trump returned to the White House, but it’s hard not to see this project as a rebuke of the othering that the federal government has engaged in, from Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids, to sealed borders, to deportations and mass incarceration.</p><p>“We are all much more alike than we are different,” Taylor said. “When you spend time with a young kid who’s a refugee from another country, you begin to quickly realize, they’re a kid just like any other kid you would know.</p><p>“Working within the refugee community has given me a lot more respect, care and admiration for the people I’ve met and the contributions they make to our culture. My hope for this film is to help more people have the same experience I’ve had, so that we have more compassion for each other.”</p><p>Clark, an award-winning filmmaker and assistant professor of <a href="/cmdi/dcmp" rel="nofollow">critical media practices</a>, joined the college at the same time as Taylor, and they’ve taught and collaborated before—but said seeing up close the sense of empathy and connection his colleague brings to his projects was inspiring.</p><h3>A model for authenticity</h3><p>“Ross, the journalist, is able to unpack all these threads and find the people who help tell the story,” Clark said. “But it’s his personality that makes him so good at what he does. I talk about it in my classes a lot—the more you spend time with the folks you’re working with on the film, the more authentic they will be on camera. And that’s who Ross is. He gets people comfortable, he brings them in close and he makes everybody feel good about him being there. That’s how you really tell the story.”</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="ucb-article-content ucb-striped-content"> <div class="container"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--article-content paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="ucb-article-text" itemprop="articleBody"> <div><p>For his part, Taylor said he appreciated Clark’s immense technical knowledge. It’s part of what makes CMDI special—the encouragement of authentic collaboration between separate, but related, disciplines to create meaningful impact.</p><p>“We are stronger as a unit than as individuals, because some projects require a substantial amount of expertise that crosses departments,” Taylor said. “This is definitely an example of that.”</p><p>Taylor is already thinking about his next documentary project, though his immediate plans are more centered on photography projects. He remains in awe of the medium’s power to make the world a better place; A Refuge of Scouting is his third documentary.</p><p>“Documentary—and, by extension, journalism—is a wonderful way to see a shared experience,” he said. “And it can help break down the preconceived notions we have about each other, and help us care for one another as we navigate the very real and challenging daily life we all experience.”</p> <div class="align-center image_style-original_image_size"> <div class="imageMediaStyle original_image_size"> <img loading="lazy" src="/cmdinow/sites/default/files/styles/original_image_size/public/2026-03/2026.03.24%20SCOUT-REFUGE%20offlede.jpg?itok=vk8iyLVz" width="3972" height="2234" alt="A theater full of children ready to watch a movie."> </div> <span class="media-image-caption"> <p class="small-text">Ross Taylor and Pat Clark are no stranger to classroom collaboration, but <em>A Refuge of Scouting</em> is their first documentary together.

One thing just led to another, and it’s all from having that first conversation with Mike.”</p><p>Justin Adams (Jour’09), a reporter and sports anchor for CBS Denver, also shared how network connections gave him a head start in his journalism career. Early in his career, he sent a cold message to Rick George, now emeritus director for CU Athletics, asking for help in making connections that could help him call Pac-12 games.</p><p>George introduced him to the conference president, which led him to the broadcast booth almost immediately.</p><p>“Take that initiative, shake that hand, have that conversation, get that contact and make sure that your face is shown.

Owing to technology in the college’s <a href="/lab/immersivemedia/" data-entity-type="external" rel="nofollow">Immersive Media Lab</a>, an extended version of the exhibit may soon allow audiences to experience and interact with the project virtually.</p><p>“It’s a really good way to bring art and technology together, but beyond that, it’s a way to put an important focus on how we honor service and sacrifice,” said <a href="/cmdi/people/critical-media-practices/pat-clark" data-entity-type="external" rel="nofollow">Patrick Clark</a>, an assistant professor of <a href="/cmdi/dcmp" data-entity-type="external" rel="nofollow">critical media practices</a> and director of the lab. “Hopefully, people walk away with an understanding of what our service members have given to our country, sacrificed for us—and leave with a sense of connection to these real human beings that were just like a lot of us.”</p><p>In <a href="https://www.limacompanymemorial.org/" data-entity-type="external" rel="nofollow"><em>Eyes of Freedom</em></a>, the artist Anita Miller created larger-than-life paintings of casual moments in her subjects’ lives, as well as a statue called “Silent Battle”—showing a grieving warrior holding the dog tag of his friend—prominently displayed. Placards and information panels tell the stories of the men who were killed in combat.</p><h3>Battling trauma, post-traumatic stress</h3><p>Seeing it in person offers a kind of raw emotion that can be hard to capture virtually. But the virtual exhibition allows the story of these servicemen to reach places that the full experience cannot. Miller was inspired to create this project as a way to help veterans struggling with loss, trauma and post-traumatic stress.</p><p>“Pat’s work really opens up the doors to so many possibilities—veterans in hospice, chaplains in military bases, retreat centers,” she said. “To me, this exhibit is a therapeutic tool to get to the deepest parts of ourselves—and with virtual reality, we can bring this tool to more people and allow them to experience the healing of it from anywhere.”</p><p>Clark, a filmmaker and visual artist, has been a driving force behind the Immersive Media Lab since it opened in 2018. From its humble origins as a closet in Folsom Field, the lab has expanded to house top-of-the-line headsets, cameras and sensors that allow students to create unique journalism projects, games, documentaries and other interactive projects.</p><p>Thanks to the technology in the lab, Clark was able to enlist students in scanning the artwork as well as some of the artifacts Miller collected, like letters from the servicemen that virtual visitors can interact with.</p><p>“In terms of the college, this is a great example of how we find different ways to tell stories to ensure they create impact,” Clark said. “How does technology change the way we’re telling the story, or how that story resonates with people? Those are things we’re interested in, whether you’re talking about journalism, documentaries or anything else.”</p><h3>Climbing the statue</h3><div class="ucb-box ucb-box-title-hidden ucb-box-alignment-right ucb-box-style-fill ucb-box-theme-white"><div class="ucb-box-inner"><div class="ucb-box-title">&nbsp;</div><div class="ucb-box-content"><p class="lead small-text"><i class="fa-solid fa-quote-right fa-3x fa-pull-right ucb-icon-color-gold">&nbsp;</i>“If the VR portion of it makes it more engaging or appealing, or just more accessible, to students, and gets them to take a moment to appreciate the memory of these guys, then I think we’ll have accomplished something important.”<br><br>Patrick Clark, assistant professor, critical media practices</p></div></div></div><p>While this is the first time the immersive experience will be displayed, a beta test over the summer was well attended, and identified a few bugs for Clark to squish, like participants loading into the corners of the exhibit, or being able to climb the “Silent Battle” statue, “which I don’t think is something Anita intended,” Clark said.</p><p>In fact, the statue is a linchpin of the exhibit. Miller modeled it on Brian Zimmermann, who shared his experiences in Iraq with the artist and helped her understand the exhibit could be more than a testament to sacrifice.</p><p>“He described this scene of seeing his friend sitting on the floor, holding the dog tags of guys who had just died,” Miller said. “I told him I was looking for something uplifting and hopeful. He said to me, ‘You don’t understand, You don’t just go from the depths of darkness to reaching the light—it’s too big of a step. The first step in healing is knowing you’re not alone. And if you make that sculpture, other people will know they’re not alone with their pain.’” &nbsp;</p><p>That’s what she hopes the immersive edition of <em>Eyes of Freedom</em> can accomplish. The showcase, and survey data taken from participants, can help guide next steps, like releasing it to app stories or installing it on headsets and sending them to schools, hospitals and the like.</p><p>“I had one person who told me she preferred the virtual, because she was able to experience it without the distractions of other people,” Miller said. “It can be a much more personal and meditative experience when you have time with the art and aren’t rushed to get out of there.”</p><p>For his part, Clark said he hopes students leave the exhibit with an understanding of the sacrifice these veterans made in service of their country.</p><p>“These people were the same age as the students in my classes. In another world, these could have been their peers,” he said. “And if the VR portion of it makes it more engaging or appealing, or just more accessible, to students, and gets them to take a moment to appreciate the memory of these guys, then I think we’ll have accomplished something important.”</p> <div class="align-center image_style-original_image_size"> <div class="imageMediaStyle original_image_size"> <img loading="lazy" src="/cmdinow/sites/default/files/styles/original_image_size/public/2025-10/vrv-clark2.jpg?itok=QFqKNSkd" width="2851" height="1603" alt="A man on a ladder takes a photo of a painting."> </div> <span class="media-image-caption"> <p class="small-text">Patrick Clark uses a camera to scan one of the paintings that make up <em>Eyes of Freedom </em>just outside the Immersive Media Lab.
