"I Wonder What I Could Be"

This video was a collaboration among Columbia College Chicago students, faculty & staff ... produced in 24 hours!

Composer / Producer / Director: Steven Hadley

Maybe these students should be in government. Lawmakers have been going back and forth for years about how to make college more affordable, but in just 24 hours, students from Columbia College produced a video with original music to protest and personify Illinois' cuts to the Monetary Award Program.

NBC Chicago ran a feature piece about the song and video and Columbia's efforts to save the MAP Grant.
