| | Lee Hayes a graduate of the Entertainment Management Program went on to
teach in China using entertainment as a medium of English education.
Experienced in charitable gaming and non–profit fundraising he took the
entertainment education model learned at the U of M to China. His
Chinese students produced the first ever independently student managed
entertainment event in China. Using entertainment and leading edge
information dissemination skills taught by the entertainment instructors
in the U of M Entertainment Management Program his students reached out
to over 40,000,000 people in China. During the second year his students
produced and managed a festival and music event with the only foreign
band allowed in China after the government stopped all foreign
entertainment events prior to the 2008 Olympic Games. The indoor event
was shown live around the world uncensored on the internet. Lately his
students used mobile phone technology and produced film shorts for the
internet and combined them into a film to reach out and communicate
their ideas and lifestyle in an effort to educate the world on the
emerging future of China. |
