In a peaceful grassy setting, a geyser of books spews into the air. Hundreds of books with steampunk-themed titles like “Modern Manners Errata for the Educated Officer” and “Advanced Elocution and Honor” tumble back to the ground, bounce, and settle. Made for no particular reason, with Blender3D.

The English program is not going anywhere, but Seton Hill is graduating its last “New Media Journalism” major this year.
