This semester, my final one at Marquette, I am doing an independent study to fulfill the requirements for a Certificate in Digital Storytelling to accompany my Masters Degree. The project, which is essentially a Capstone project that showcases the Digital Storytelling tactics and techniques I learned during my two years in grad school, was an open-ended assignment that could be on the topic of my choosing.
I chose to focus my project on Marquette's retiring President, Father Robert A. Wild. Fr. Wild has been the President of Marquette University since 1996, and I first set foot on Marquette's campus in 1998. Since Fr. Wild has been the University's steward for all of my on-again, off-again time with Marquette, I have seen the growth and transformation of the University first-hand. I also had the opportunity to get to know Fr. Wild through various endeavors I was involved with here, and he is a man that I have great respect and admiration for.
The project is a tribute, not only to Fr. Wild, but to the transformation of Marquette during his time. Digital Storytelling blends multimedia tools to tell a story, and I have culled photos, videos, social media elements, and text narratives to tell the story of Fr. Wild's time at Marquette. The site features an interactive photographic timeline, narratives from several individuals who have worked closely with Fr. Wild (as well as my own reflection), a look back at Marquette's social media reaction the day Fr. Wild retired, and other elements.
Take a moment to check the project out. It is hosted online at http://frwild.weebly.com. Let me know what you think, and feel free to leave your own Marquette memory or Father Wild reflection in the guestbook.
