Project CI is the fusion of Dance, Music, Theatre, Film, Art, and the reflection of the human experience. The students tonight use multiple artistic and technological mediums to communicate the human experience. We are proud to showcase all of our performers and creators artistic endeavors from classes, clubs, study abroad, and community guests. 

All videos were created in collaboration with the students, faculty, and staff of Channel Islands, under the guidance of Professor Harris. Contributors include Dr. Samantha Acuña, Assistant Professor of Political Science; Dr. Hanni Jalil, Assistant Professor of History; Johnathon Ortiz, a Computer Science student; John Yanvez, a facilities worker; Dr. José Luis Collazo Jr, Assistant Professor of Sociology; Rafa, Resident Artist at Lord’s Bodega in Stuttgart, Germany; and Peter Minson, a Winston Churchill Fellow and glass blower. These videos highlight the themes of studying abroad, education, humility, and personal stories from our campus staff, reminding us that it takes a village to build a community.
