“I really enjoyed my experience in the Digital Media MA program. It was very self-guided, so if you’re used to a structure that lays out the entire path then it’s probably not for you, but being able to pick where I wanted to guide my project was great. I also had the opportunity to teach as a Graduate student for undergrad and it was nice to try and help guide where I remembered struggling a couple years ago. More than anything the smaller classes in the masters meant getting to know everyone much better and I felt like I had a lot of support from my professors who were willing to help out with projects whether they were directly in the purview of the class or not.
A few professors that I really can’t thank enough are Dr. Maria C. R. Harrington, Dr. John T. Murray, Dr. Natalie Underberg-Goode and Dr. Peter Smith, all encouraged me to push projects further and submit my work at conferences or to reach out to other peers in my field, or suggested and supported Club events for the VR Knights club that I started up at the beginning of my masters. Everyone I met from the Digital Media staff was rather kind. Getting encouraged to reach out to people and attend events in my field is honestly probably what led me to getting my Tech Artist job.” — Erica Winfrey
