Established in 1981, the Office of Electronic Media Communications supports and advances the University and its mission through video, web and electronic communications. EMC's communications specialists have years of experience in their respective fields. EMC matches this experience with high-end video capability and state-of- the-art electronic communications resources.

Our staff personifies the University’s "can-do spirit". For SU productions, EMC has brought back video footage from China, Japan, England and the Calgary Olympics. We’ve been on the tarmac as the Concorde took off, shot the Dead Sea Scrolls at the Field Museum, been "on location" at the White House, NASA’s Houston Space Center and the back lot at Warner Bros. Our crews have filmed out of helicopters and SkyCranes, uplinked international television shows, produced live telecasts seen on CNN, broadcast SU’s commencement ceremonies, and streamed webcasts of University events live over the Internet. As a testament to production quality, we’ve shot for Disney, Warner Bros., CNN and NBC. Our video productions have been hosted by such SU alums as 60 minutes Steve Kroft, NBC’s Bob Costas and Marv Albert, TV legend Dick Clark, columnist William Safire, actress songster Vannessa L. Williams, film and theater star Frank Langella and Fox’s Dick Stockton.

It’s always a challenge to meet tight deadlines and keep quality high. But EMC has done it and in the process has "fringe benefit" opportunities to shoot and interview personalities for SU like Mike Wallace, Ken Burns, Colin Powell, Ted Koppel, Jay Oliva, Elie Wiesel, Jim Brown, Marcy Carsey, Henry Kissinger, Doris Kearns Goodwin, David McCullough, Hillary Clinton, Ron Meyer, Aaron Sorkin, Oliver Stone and others.

On the Internet side, Electronic Media Communications helped the Office of Admissions establish Syracuse University as one of the first schools in the country to offer its library of recruiting videos online. EMC works cooperatively with schools, colleges and offices at the University on their web site's design and content management. EMC provides live Internet streaming of major University events such as Commencement, The Commitment to Learning campaign celebration and Chancellor's address to the University community. EMC is also available for consultation and strategic planning on Internet-based issues.
