Our emphasis this year is on Film, in anticipation of the new Film Concentration in the Department of Communications Bachelors Degree in Digital Communications and Mass Media.
There are strong relationships being formed between industry and academia, as a way to look forward in creating a new environment of learning and experience. Students and professionals will come together under one roof to be inspired and motivated. This exciting week will unfold with some terrific hands-on approaches to media and media technology. It is a one-of-a-kind event that caters to all levels of interest: students, amateurs and professionals.
