Univision News has entered into a partnership with Miami Dade College (MDC) to implement fellowship and internship programs in one of today’s fastest growing digital fields: animation and game development. The partnership announcement coincides with today’s official opening of MDC’s state-of-the-art Miami Animation & Gaming International Complex, M.A.G.I.C., the only teaching facility of its kind at a public higher education institution in Florida and one of only a handful in the country. “We are very excited to partner with MDC and its impressive new Miami Animation & Gaming International Complex to bring even more innovation to our newsroom by incorporating some of today’s most sophisticated and advanced animation and gaming technology into our digital news reporting” said Isaac Lee, president of News and Digital for UCI and CEO of Fusion. “Miami is becoming an international hub for the computer animation and game industries, and we are proud to contribute to the development of new talent in our region and offer outstanding MDC students the opportunity to apply their skills in an award-winning, forward-looking news organization.” “Univision management is to be commended, and we know that the M.A.G.I.C. partnership will deliver many important results for our students, the community and the network” added Dr. Eduardo J. Padrón, president of Miami Dade College. Located at the Wolfson Campus in downtown Miami as part of MDC’s School of Engineering and Technology, the Miami Animation & Gaming International Complex is a highly sophisticated facility featuring technology only at major motion picture studios.
