Rolihlahla Mandela
This is a new genre that some of the students in PO 2302 Civic Engagement & Social Action decided to attempt above and beyond their actual assignment to help our class design ways to disseminate their research and presentations beyond our small group. To qualify to publish, students had to further edit their work and make the presentation more engaging by following a story arc and by removing most text and adding transition and morphing effects wherever possible. I am grateful to my entire class this Fall 2022 for taking on this challenge and for working above and beyond their course requirements to help us experiment with a new format for publishing on the StMU Research Scholars website Project coordinated by Dr Brad Whitener.

Cheers on your publishing; you did an excellent job overall! Even just viewing your video taught me a lot! One of the many interesting things I discovered about Mandela was that he was an attorney who founded the first black legal firm in the country. Your video definitely piqued my interest in this subject of conversation. It was well-structured and highly informative.

Hello! Congratulations on a great publication! The format of this publication alone is a definite stand out. I have seen the majority of publications be in an article or infographic format, so a video publication is refreshing to see. I think the entirety of the video goes into great detail on Mandela’s importance and his experiences. Mandela’s story inspires others to persevere in spite of adversities that affect them. Great job!

I love how you ended with how Mandela’s life shows us to “be willing to suffer for the common good”. This is not only demonstrated here at St. Mary’s University through the Marianist teachings but also learned in Civic Engagement courses.
