different ways, take so many different forms, but there’s still a popular mindset that people can’t understand it if they aren’t a certain type of person. I think you can say that about any classic book across cultures. Books are about learning other perspectives, and I don’t think we’re doing ourselves any favors by siloing specific books to specific people.

PLU apart and why it’s so special.” Rachel Lovrovich ’17, MediaLab’s 2016-17 general manager, says her involvement in the program has been extremely valuable. “I’ve made so many important relationships with my peers, clients and past MediaLab members who will support me in the years to come,” Lovrovich said. “I’m inspired by the support and success of past members who have come through MediaLab in the past 10 years.” Documentary filmmaking has become an annual, signature project for MediaLab
