True or false
“Is it true that SCAD used to have an online forum where students could discuss different topics?”
Yes. The Hive, a student-run Internet community, launched in 2002 as SCAD’s third student media group in addition to District and SCAD Radio. The Hive featured message boards open to SCAD students, faculty and staff, and provided hosting and support for SCAD student organization Web sites. According to John Bennett, director of student media, “The Hive proved popular for several years after its launch, but student participation began to decline and it was discontinued during winter quarter 2008.” Today, students can discuss topics by participating in conversations through the commenting feature through the District and The Connector’s Web sites at http://scaddistrict.com and http://scadconnector.com.
– This feature is for students, faculty, staff and others who want to be in the know. Each week a question of interest is asked and answered. If you have a question, send it to trueorfalse@scad.edu.

Christy Fike knew there had to be something more to life. She’d spent years working unfulfilling jobs, including a spell at Starbucks and a stint at a nanny agency, none of which allowed her to fully use her undergraduate degree in communications. Read more
You are a Strong, Confident, Target Audience: Have the ‘chick flicks’ of this decade suffered in quality?
December 9, 2008
By Jack Huang
Have you noticed a peculiar line that has popped up in recent films, whether main stream or independent, that sounds something like, “You are a strong, confident, beautiful, independent woman”? It’s usually uttered by the female protagonist’s best friend before the climax. You know, the line that’s been shallowly used in every recent female-centric romantic movie and TV show as often and contrived as “All Out of Love” or Sarah McLachlan’s “Angel?” Read more
