Led by Comparative Media Studies professor Beth Coleman, a dozen MIT freshman were introduced to the CMS program by way of an alternate reality game. The student-players deciphered clues hidden around the MIT campus and Boston’s Copley Square as a way to learn both the area and CMS’s unique approach to the humanities.
The “Discovering CMS” program was sponsored by Comparative Media Studies, Council for the Arts Fund, MIT Class of 1972 Fund for Educational Innovation.
