COLUMBIA — As part of the national HBCU Week NOW programming initiative, South Carolina ETV has produced a new short film that looks at a health initiative at Claflin University. The film can be viewed on the project’s signature YouTube channel, HBCU Week NOW.
SCETV’s new film, SmartHOME, is a short documentary film that explores a groundbreaking tech-forward health initiative at South Carolina’s oldest HBCU, Claflin University. It is one of six new shorts that began premiering on YouTube in mid-September to coincide with the 2024 Annual National HBCU Week Conference.
Maryland Public Television (MPT) and other PBS station partners including Howard University Television, PBS North Carolina, Louisiana Public Broadcasting and WABE (Atlanta) will produce the other five films.
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with HBCU Week NOW, a national initiative that not only honors the rich history of HBCUs, but also highlights their ongoing contributions to education and innovation. With SmartHOME, we’re proud to showcase Claflin University’s forward-thinking approach to health and technology, a reflection of the pioneering spirit that has defined HBCUs for generations,” said SCETV President and CEO Adrienne Fairwell.
