We argue that this project offers a model for how collaboration between student affairs and academic affairs can transform the nonpartisan voter mobilization campaign into a site for interdisciplinary, cross-campus service-learning projects that benefit the student participants and the campus community. This article outlines the advantages and challenges of the project and concludes with recommendations for those interested in implementing a similar program.

During their workshop presentation at the NYMAPS symposium at St. John’s University in New York City in May 2012, Chesler and Mushtare used collaborative media project examples from their courses to illustrate and identify key authorship, attribution, distribution and copyright issues for consideration. The results of the discussion during and after that workshop are the foundation of this paper in combination with a primer on copyright and findings from their recent study, “Community Engagement Through Creative
Media Production.” That study, funded by the American Association of Colleges and
Universities: Bringing Theory To Practice and Marymount Manhattan College, looked at student surveys, writing and projects in two production courses. The resulting eight guidelines introduce questions to address and methods to use while planning and developing collaborative media projects in order to solidify shared ownership for the future benefit of the community partner’s mission as well as the student’s creative and professional goals.
