Office Hours at Juniper College: The Office, higher ed style?

Do you remember lonelygirl15 and the web series that made YouTube history as many viewers (including yours truly) wondered if she was just another teenager turned successful YouTuber?

Office Hours, a new web series created and produced at Junita Juniata College, is reminiscent of this YouTube blockbuster. Nothing surprising since lonelygirl15 was listed as one of the web series that inspired Nathan Wagoner, Director of New Media Communications at Junita JuniataCollege, for this side project he developed with the help of students and alums from Junita Juniata.

The goal of this series is NOT to promote the institution. It actually takes place at Juniper College, a hypothetical liberal arts college and depicts the adventures and whereabouts of a newly appointed adjunct, Jenny Clancy, as she discovers the wonderful world of academia.

I’m not sure all faculty members will love it (as it might hit a bit too close to home for comfort), but you should enjoy watching it, so why not give it a try?

Four episodes are already available. They are pretty short and very well-produced. And, who knows? You might get inspired for your next campus video production.

If you want to learn more about the project, you can read more about it on the Office Hours website.
