The (hopefully) final rough cut of the green episode is completed. Unfortunately, we will still need to cut 15 seconds from the show. This version is being shared with other individuals to gain their input before finalizing the episode for airing and distribution. One aspect we think everyone will agree on: the farm visuals are beautiful!

The degrees that work.tv series was represented at the 19th Annual Conference on Integrated Learning: The School to Career Connection at the Penn Stater Conference Center Hotel in State College, Pa. Many middle and high school teachers were exposed to the series at a vendor booth and a 60-minute presentation.  The series generated a positive response from the teachers!

Selected the high quality music cuts to be utilized in the final production of the green episode. The impact music can have on a scene is amazing. It’s always a fun experience to watch a scene with no music and then add different types of tunes to change the mood.

Final interview for the episode conducted with Chef Mike Ditchfield. Interview focused on sustainability issues being incorporated into culinary arts education.

Interview done with Dean Mary Sullivan at the School of Natural Resources Management in Allenwood, PA. Focused on how traditional green majors are becoming greener. Lucked out with perfect weather. Had a picturesque setting in the Conifer Garden!
