Students enter an experience replete with faculty, facilities and resources no other academic program in this space can match. Imagine fully equipped podcast recording booths, professional-grade creator kits, lighting, and editing equipment. We have them, and they’re all built for one of the fastest growing fields in business today. As the first center of its kind, being here means training on the actual tools of the industry, with the experts who have the real world experience to share.
Creator Crew
The Creator Crew is the Center’s student-run content studio, where students produce real work on behalf of the Center itself, with team leads and an editorial calendar built like a working media organization.
Venues & Resources on Campus
The Center’s physical home at Newhouse gives students dedicated space for collaboration and programming. That footprint extends across campus — from Whitman’s own creator-focused spaces to the Bird Library LaunchPad to the Gaming & Esports Center.
FAQs
Yes, and the model is built to grow: as brand and industry partners are integrated into the Creator Crew’s work, the Center is developing the organization into a nimble in-house agency capable of handling multiple clients, with client funding supporting both Center operations and student experiences, including trips to industry events like SXSW and CES.
Every piece of work becomes a real credential — cultivated business relationships, portfolio examples, and personal brand development that follows students past graduation.
Students affiliated with the Center can check out creator kits from The Cage, located on the first floor of Newhouse 3. Two kits are available: an iPhone 17 Pro kit with mics, stabilizers, and accessories, and a Sony vlogging camera kit with mics and a wireless shooting grip; a dual Amaran LED lighting kit is also available for more involved shoots.
