In this episode of One Cool Story: Tales from the University of Oregon’s School of Journalism and Communication (SOJC), senior journalism student Julia Boboc has an animated conversation with Jon Sharpy, creative technology manager, and videographer Lucas Castillo Delgado. They share how their undergraduate experiences at the University of Oregon shaped their journeys to the SOJC, the Storycraft class curriculum they developed, and the lessons they’ve learned about technology and storytelling through their varied experiences. Stay tuned until the end for their cool stories: how a friend from Jon’s past crashed his wedding, leading to … a band? And how Lucas hopes media and storytelling can change the world. Listen to hear: How Jon’s nontraditional undergraduate journey led him to become a problem-solver and studio specialist. How Lucas’ background in GoPro and outdoor activity filmmaking led him to the SOJC twice! How the two have worked together to develop the Storycraft curriculum and studios in Allen Hall, learning from each other along the way.
