Meaning Behind the Objects:
Whether editing his feature-length documentary film about Lehigh’s women’s wrestling team or recording video segments for his classes, Archer Benedict ’26 found his home away from home utilizing the soundboard, microphones and headsets in The Brown and White recording studio in Coppee Hall. A journalism and communications major who will be interning at Philadelphia-based production company The WorkShop Content Studios this summer, Benedict said he’s grateful for the studio and the resources that allowed him to pursue his creative endeavors.
“It’s been such a great safe space on campus for me to just create and to really take account of all the great resources that I have here,” Benedict said. “I'm going to surely miss the studio when I graduate.”
