Anyone wishing to submit a video for consideration for the DU Tube program during Discoveries orientation week must do so by Monday.

All students are invited to create a video highlighting an aspect of student life at DU to inform students about situations that may arise during their college experience. Video entries must be burned onto a DVD and place in the drop box in the Campus Life Suite on the 3rd floor of Driscoll North.

“DU Tube is a showcase of ‘mini-documentaries’ on college life. The Student Life Division offers this program during fall orientation to address various topics and issues such as diversity, alcohol use, stress and healthy relationships to name a few. Our goal is to assist new students in their transition and adjustment to DU,” said Doctor B. Afeni Cobham, assistant provost of Student Life.

The creators of videos selected for the program will receive a $50 honorarium from the DU bookstore.

Entries must be no more than four minutes in length.  Only one topic may be addressed per video, but students are welcome to submit more than one video. Acceptable video formats include DV cam, BETA, mini DVD, i-Movie and Quick Time.

Videos may not include material that could be considered offensive to the average person. Because videos must be about real-life experiences at DU, students will not be submitted to disciplinary action because of the experiences addressed in the movies.

Topics to consider include the campus alcohol policy, time management, how to handle stress, diversity, gender violence, marijuana use, etc.

“Pioneers, we need your involvement and support to make sure the messages conveyed are from a DU student’s point of view,” said Cobham.
