ACME VT Conference Follow Up

	*Remote Control or Self Control: Staying Healthy in a Media Culture*
	ACME Vermont's second "Media Education in Action" Summit brought together more than 150 educators, students, public health experts, independent media producers and community activists to discuss the media and public health. It was an inspiring and enlightening day! The day-long event featured workshops, panel discussions and participants were treated to a keynote address by popular author and filmmaker Jean Kilbourne. The May 9th conference was co-sponsored by Champlain College and the CCTV Center for Media and Democracy. As a follow up to the conference we thought we would share some photos of the day and streaming video of interviews conducted during the event.

Hold the Date - Columbus Day Weekend 2006 - The ACME National Summit is coming to Champlain College!
