Oyler began building a K-12 media arts program in August 2020. With a passion for storytelling, we believe that everyone has a story worth sharing. We're here to help students find creative ways to express their voices, discover hidden talents, learn writing, photography, filmmaking, podcasting, marketing and countless other communication skills. We connect students to professionals in the media field and similar college programs. Our team provides programming during and after school ranging from classes, clubs and field trips to internships and job shadowing.
To connect or get involved, you can find our broadcast lab and classroom on the mezzanine level of Oyler; rooms 3009 and 3011. Contact Mr. Nick Kuster at (513) 532-0643 or nick.kuster@clcinstitute.org for more info.
Why media?
There's something in this field for everybody. No matter which career path you choose - nursing, engineering, architecture, coaching, finance, aviation - you need solid communication skills. Media is also a great tool to improve literacy & make learning concepts more fun through creative projects like films, newscasts & photos.
