CAPS Academic Programs Two academic program name changes were recently approved and will take effect with the fall semester. Both majors fall under the Communication and Performance Studies department.

Blue Like Jazz CAPS department professor Dr. Mark Shevy and students, Steve Taylor, Heidi Robitaille and Charlie Steen had the unique opportunity to see the rough edit and speak with the director at an invitation-only screening of the film Blue Like Jazz in Grand Rapids back on October 6, 2011.
At the screening, Steve Taylor, the film’s director and co-writer and Donald Miller, the author of the New York Times bestseller book Blue Like Jazz, introduced the film and talked about their screening the night before in Los Angeles. Along with others, Shevy and students Heidi Robitaille and Charlie Steen then saw the film on a big screen before it had gone through final processes such as color correction and audio post-production. After the movie, Taylor and Miller handed out questionnaires and lead a discussion to get feedback about the film’s characters, storylines and other elements. |
