ONE OF THOSE FORMER STUDENTS (by email): I just accepted my first full-time job with vacation and benefits… for a position where I will be this company’s voice for their weekly webinars reaching over 1000 viewers.

Everyday I’m thankful for the foundation this program (new media journalism) gave me. Thanks again.

Had a student in for a conference the other day to talk about his multimodal project. Wanted to know what I could “legitimately” expect of his work on the project.. Laughed and said pretty much whatever I ask.
