Dr. Vinovich has been on the faculty of CSUDH since 1982. He founded the University ‘s Television degree program, created its curriculum, and designed the TV production facilities that support the program. In addition to teaching, he operates his own video production company which produces documentary programs, promotional videos, and TV commercials for clients such as PBS, MTV, and local broadcast stations. He is the recipient of a national Telly Award for documentary production, a Communicator Award for promotional video, and a national C.A.S.E. Award for educational video. His students have won back-to-back national awards in the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences’ (Emmy Awards) student competition as well as statewide awards for their music videos and public service announcements. "Nothing brings me more satisfaction than to see our students who come to the University with no 'connections' or 'other advantages' actually 'make it' as successful professionals in this highly competitive field. The fact that students from our program are hired over graduates from the 'elite' TV/Film schools in the area is perhaps the one accomplishment of which I am most proud".
