Teaching

Media Innovation & Social Impact Practicum (MiSIP) at Boston University is a practice-oriented course that bridges academic study and real-world engagement by placing students directly alongside community partners.

Rather than examining media’s role in social change from a distance, students gain hands-on experience navigating the challenges and opportunities of impact-driven work through student-designed projects under the mentorship of MISI fellows familiar with this type of work.

Through this embedded partnership model, students develop professional skills, build meaningful relationships across sectors, and contribute substantively to the community — leaving the course not only with a deeper understanding of how media can advance social good, but with the experience and portfolio to prove it.
