Fulbright Senior Specialist and U.S. Speaker Dr. Robert Hooper recently completed a five-week program aimed at assisting the Lao National University in its efforts to establish a new Broadcasting Department within the new Faculty of Letters and Mass Communication. Hooper conducted two one-week workshops with a dozen faculty members from the University's Faculty of Letters who will teach courses in the new Broadcasting Department. Workshops focused on story development, interviewing techniques, lighting, camera work, on-camera presentation, and editing. Hooper also consulted with senior University officials about the design of the curriculum for the new Department.
