A Message to Students from DMJ Chair and Faculty…

On behalf of the Digital Media Production faculty and myself, I wanted to express my congratulations to all our students for your work this semester.  I won’t mince words:  this was a challenge for our students, our faculty and our staff.  There were invisible challenges as well—many of our students had to take on extra caregiving responsibilities, or work responsibilities, or faced terrible pandemic-related impacts.  Yet, you faced this challenging semester with determination and spirit and were able to find a path through it.  For those students who have struggled, please do reach out to your professor.  We are here to help you in this journey, and we want to make sure you know what options are available.
