Alyssa Cleland is a senior studying media and information in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences. In June, she traveled to India for a new Spartan study abroad program, “Beyond Bollywood: Taste of Indian Media,” led by Amol Pavangadkar, senior producer and outreach specialist with the Department of Media and Information.
In addition to blogging with the other students for the Beyond Bollywood blog page, Alyssa chronicled the trip using her filmmaking skills. Watch Part I of her video project above and stay tuned for Part II.
