iCamp Summer Media Academy
Recognized with Lindy Award

The Pennsylvania Higher Education Network for Neighborhood Development (PHENND) recognized WCU’s iCamp Summer Academy with a Lindy award.

Since 2017, Laquana Cooke, associate professor of English, has partnered with the Philadelphia School District to bring rising high school juniors and seniors to campus for the residential iCamp Summer Academy. Each summer, these students room on campus to participate in structured media production lessons, hands-on workshops, and collaborative open lab time with WCU faculty.

“It’s quite an honor to be recognized with this award,” Cooke says. “At iCamp, we teach our students about media projects that can benefit society and we are passionate about working with them to effect social change. Our goal is to develop college-level social, academic, and technical literacies that can help our students achieve success in college and beyond.”

The Phillip B. Lindy Award is part of the PHENND’s K-16 Partnerships Program. It honors collaborative partnerships between at least one K-12 school and one university.
