Introducing the President's Film Series
IU President Michael A. McRobbie stands next to the poster at IU Cinema that advertises the fall 2016 films in the President's Choice series. The theme for the fall series is "Reporting Conflict," and each film was chosen in honor of the Media School’s move to Franklin Hall.
