MAPS Media Institute to celebrate the life of former student Jake Rowley

MAPS Media Institute http://mediarts.org/content/view/2/4/ founder Peter Rosten looks at his current program – the media arts school occupying several classrooms in Hamilton’s Westview Center – as the “house that Jake built.”

Truth be told, Rosten wishes he didn’t have to commemorate Jake Rowley, a Corvallis High School grad who spent a good deal of time under Rosten’s guidance learning the ropes of mass media communications and filmmaking.

But, on Saturday at Westview (from 4-7 p.m.), Rosten and the MAPS family will celebrate Rowley and inaugurate MAPS’ Jake Rowley Memorial Scholarship.

At 20, Rowley died this fall in a drowning accident in Arizona, where he had moved in hopes of getting a bachelor’s degree in film.

“He left us way too young,” Rosten said.
