“Digital Media prepared me for so much more than the industry. I almost didn’t go to tech and that’s scary, because it was best decision I made as a teenager and where I discovered my passion. When my first animation “came to life,” in that moment I realized I wanted to continue doing that for the rest of my life. DM prepared me for so much more than the industry.”
Tommy Marshall, Student
