Jerry Gambell

I'm an assistant professor in the TV-R Department at Ithaca College and have been teaching at the Park School of Communications since 2003. Video production is my specialty (field and studio).

Most students that enroll in my classes finish the semester with a confident smile.  I make an attempt to keep all my classes interesting, engaging, challenging and yet, fun. Regardless of the class, all students will find themselves working on projects that will help fine tune their skills and expand there knowledge of the industry.  

Before teaching at Ithaca, I worked for the ABC television affiliate, NewsChannel 9, in Syracuse, NY for over fourteen years as a producer, a supervisor and other positions. During those years I produced over a thousand TV commercials, at least eight telethons, and various special projects. I continue to work as a freelance video producer/director in central New York.
