Projects

The AMC utilizes a comprehensive network of Baltimore Area colleges and universities for the purpose of sharing resources, collaborating on common tasks and assisting in the development of community media relationships.
This consortium is a resource for many of the other ongoing projects of UCAM. The AMC is made up of principals involved in collegiate publications, journals, calendars, film, video, audio, live events (such as lectures, concerts, etc.) and appropriate meetings in the Baltimore Metropolitan Area.

A prominent feature of the AMC is the mentoring/training aspect, which directly relates to UCAM’s mission to train the community in the skill sets pertinent to becoming independent practitioners of media development. Integral is the use of the consortium member institutions’ facilities for training, production, screening and resource development. The collegiate members of the consortium choose mentees from area high schools and community based organizations who have an interest in media development.
