In this episode of FIVE WITH A FALCON, Elliot Zopatti (COMM ‘24) talks about studying Technical Theater (TETA) within the Communications Media department and being an active member of the campus community, including serving as a Residential Advisor (RA). He also talks about how Fitchburg State -- and, especially, his 20+ strong friend group -- helped him find his sense of belonging.
As a member of the Honors Program, Elliot describes how he stepped out of his comfort zone with his Honors thesis project to create a personal documentary called The Little Girl in the Photo is Me . The film was an official selection of Visions, the annual juried showcase of the best student work from the CommMedia department, and received an award for Best Film at the 2024 Undergraduate Research Conference.
