Happy New Year, from the College of Education, MSU

by | Tuesday, January 08, 2013

The college of Education at Michigan State University just came out with a video titled Year in Review. You can see the video below.

I would like to point out that a couple of projects I am involved with made it into the video. They include the project with the Azim Premji University (APU) in India and our overseas Master’s program in Dublin! In fact Anurag Behar (who is also the vice-chancellor of APU) and I show up in the video around the 44 second mark.

Happy New Year (and a new illusory video)

Since 2008 we have been creating short videos to welcome in the New Year. These videos, created on a shoe-string budget, are usually typographical in nature with some kind of an optical illusion or aha! moment built in. Check out our latest creation to welcome 2019...
