On My Nightstand
BY JOE CORNELIUS
On my nightstand, one of the books you’ll find is In the Blink of an Eye: A Perspective on Film Editing by the Oscar-winning editor, Walter Murch. Murch is known in the motion picture industry for his work in sound and editing; however, he is most famous for his eccentric theories on how to craft a story effectively. I consider the book a sacred text for filmmakers, as the author places so much value in emotion and storytelling that his theories will never become obsolete, even in a technology-driven film industry. As I prepare for an
upcoming seminar focusing on the topic of audio journalism, you’ll find a handbook on my nightstand titled Sound Reporting: Te NPR Guide to Audio Journalism and Production by Jonathan Kern. It will serve as a great companion for students as
THAT MAKES 26
With the addition of women’s rugby and women’s triathlon, Queens Athletics now offers 26 NCAA-sponsored sports. Women’s rugby and women’s triathlon are current NCAA
emerging sports for women, which means they are recognized by the NCAA and are intended to help schools provide more athletic opportunities for women. Both new sports are required to gain championship status within 10
years or show steady progress toward that goal. Queens’ programs in these sports have acclimated well to the athletic culture of the university, as the women’s triathlon team has won five team national championships and four individual national championships. Go Royals!

they encounter technical and ethical challenges in the field and studio. On a different note, my three-
year-old daughter absolutely loves books. To satisfy her craving for books, and to preserve my sanity, we go to the local library branch to check out fresh books every week. We stuff our tote bag until the seams start to rip. During a recent trip, I found an illustrated book, How We Got to the Moon: Te People, Technology, and Daring Feats of Science Behind Humanity’s Greatest Adventure by John Rocco, which has rekindled my child-like wonder of engineering marvels and space travel.

Study abroad has long been a core part of the Queens experience. In this photo, you can see Queens students in 1970 on a trip to Italy, stopping for a must-have photo opportunity in front of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The university believes strongly in a global perspective. That is why the John Belk International Program (JBIP) helps make study abroad affordable. JBIP covers the majority of costs for each undergraduate student to participate in a Queens international experience before they graduate. Queens is proud that the program is ranked seventh nationally for the percentage of graduates who studied abroad—in fact, nearly 70 percent of Queens students have international academic experience by graduation. The experiences Queens students take
in while abroad are often looked back upon fondly years after graduation. From music therapy internships in Ghana to history and philosophy trips to Japan, language immersion programs in Peru, and even a faculty-led trip to Rio de Janeiro for the Olympic Games, the opportunities are endless. Most importantly, study abroad is about
education. All Queens’ programs bear academic credit, and 95 percent of students who studied abroad found a job within 12 months of graduation, a testament to the self-confidence and skills gained by living and learning in another country.
