Activities of the Profile are centered around the Cinema, Video and Communications Department, which is a lively area with various activities.

Course offerings include a broad range of theory and production style classes that comprise lectures, presentations workshops, exercises, screenings and discussion.  The Profile regularly invites documentary filmmakers, journalists, television producers and developers, animators, and directors to speak in these classes.  Visits to art galleries, museums and local film and media festivals are also a routine part of course-related activity.

Students generate their own activities as well, using the Cinema Video Communications Department facilities to meet and organize special events and related fundraising.  At the end of every semester, students organize a presentation of current video work, Media Night.  At the end of the academic year, this event may expand into a multi-day festival with events that include a Media Night Gala with prizes, a live multimedia performance, and exhibits of other multimedia work.
