The Entertainment Industry is exploding in Georgia! Since the passage of the Georgia Entertainment Industry Investment Act in 2005-saving companies up to a third off state income taxes, film crews have become a familiar site around Atlanta and across the state. The economic impact of the film industry in Georgia was 2.9 billion dollars last year…and is predicted to reach 4 billion this year! See page 11 to learn about the new certificate program being developed to prepare YOU for a career in the film industry! As a result of the tax credit the number of local video game companies has leapt from about seven to more than seventy-five. The industry employs hundreds of workers and contributed an estimated $50 million to the state economy in 2011. Video games are big business and getting bigger: the global video game industry generates approximately $56 billion in revenue! That’s more than double the size of the music industry and nearly three-fifths the size of Hollywood’s movie business. Moreover, that number is expected to reach $82 billion by 2015, making video games the fastest-growing media business on the planet! Clayton State University offers an IT degree that includes game design in addition to classes offered through the Center for Continuing Education. Georgia’s musical heritage extends from Johnny Mercer to Sugarland; from a symphony with 27 Grammys to an urban music scene that rivals that of any metropolitan region; from solid performers of existing genres to startling (at the time) innovations, such as Little Richard and the Allman Brothers in Macon, the B-52’s in Athens and rap/hip hop in Atlanta. Not only does Georgia have a significant musical history…it also has a vital and varied current music scene including the blues and jazz. The economic impact in Georgia was $3.7 billion dollars in 2009 and growing. See page 16 to learn about the new Multimedia, Music and Entertainment Certificate Program if your dream is to pursue a career in the music industry!

Conflict Management Conflicts can be hard. Most people want to avoid conflicts altogether. Many get so emotional that they feel they can’t even say a single word. Others may rely on a simple age-old technique of silence treatment, which does not really do them or others any good. What do you do when you are in a conflict? Do you just leave it and hope that it goes away? The chances are that it probably doesn’t go away and will come back to haunt you. Conflicts have a tendency to escalate when untreated, they can make the environment toxic and unproductive and eventually the conflict may come to control you rather you controlling it.

Netweaving Certificate Program Building a Highly Successful Career by Helping Others Build Theirs One of the most important keys to success across all industries and professions, is based upon your ability to build NEW! and maintain trusted relationships. How can you attract people - from the first time you meet them - whether inperson, on Facebook, or LinkedIn - and just importantly, how can you build a trusted relationship, and over time, make them part of your trusted resource network? These, along with many other skill sets and action steps, will be taught in this course and are primarily based upon two concepts: “NetWeaving” and “Pay It Forward.” “NetWeaving” is a strategic form of networking which focuses on helping someone FIRST, in order to create and build a trusted relationship, but with the confidence to know that in many cases and in many different ways, ‘what goes around, does come back around.’ NetWeaving teaches you how to become a better ‘connector’ of others; as well as a ‘no-strings-attached resource’ for others. “Pay It Forward” is a concept first introduced in a ‘novel’ of the same name authored by Catherine Ryan Hyde, and then a subsequent movie. It is all about how the world gets changed when someone does something very nice for you, instead of paying them back, you have to ‘pay it forward’ and do favors for several others. The instructor for this course Bob Littell, Chief NetWeaver, is not only the creator of the NetWeaving concept, but he was the first President of the Pay It Forward Foundation other than Ms. Hyde. With her permission, NetWeaving is known as the ‘business’ version of “Pay It Forward” and it along with the ‘pay it forward’ movement are spreading globally. 132CCER101A Tue Sep 18 - Nov 6 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM CE Main Campus 8 Sessions $349 with Robert Littell, chief netweaver

You will also learn valuable shooting techniques: how to choose the right lighting, when and how to use flash, and easy techniques for better photo composition. The second skill is organization. Students will learn how to manage a growing collection of images on the computer, how to save steps when downloading images from the camera and how to back up photo collections for safekeeping. You will also learn software tools for “tagging� images so they are easy to find later and how to automate the process of emailing images. The third skill is image editing. The course will help you choose the right software for your needs. It demonstrates how to improve any image with a basic edit (brightness, contrast, color balance, retouching) by doing the right steps in the right order. It also covers the powerful RAW file format, and how RAW impacts the editing workflow process. Please bring your camera, the instruction manual, and all your questions. If you have a laptop with Adobe Photoshop Elements (version 4 or higher), bring it to class and practice the computer skills as they are demonstrated! 2 sessions.

In case of a weather related closing, or any other type of emergency closing, the University has an extensive media contact list for such emergency situations. For information about all radio and TV outlets that will be contacted upon closing, please visit the University’s main webpage at www.clayton.edu. During any potential emergency weather situation, information about Clayton State’s plans will also be available on the University’s web page and through the University’s main telephone number (678-466-4000). Please do not call the Office of Public Safety, or the Office of University Relations. At times of bad weather or other emergencies, University officials make decisions on whether or not to close the campus based on public safety reports and other considerations. In such cases, the safety and security of the majority of students is a prime consideration. If the University is closed, then classes are cancelled for all students. If the institution remains open, we recognize that there may be special circumstances that pertain to individual students that are more serious than those that apply to the majority. So, students are advised to use their best judgment about their safety and that of their families in those situations, and to consult with individual faculty members about making up lost time. In the event that other instructional sites are closed, every effort will be made to contact students and instructors by phone and/or email.
