The Master of Digital Media program involves extensive project-based experiences and entrepreneurial simulations and tutorials through which students acquire valuable academic and applied knowledge of the digital media industry.
The 2019-2020 MDM cohort is a diverse blend of creators, designers, developers, and researchers who are unified through a desire to learn, inspire, and grow. MDM 7.0 has been challenged with a global pandemic, a civil rights uprising and have brought their skills to the forefront to build the foundations for a better world. MDM 7.0 knows that the world needs more: more beauty, more creativity, more efficiency, more wellness, more safety, and more compassion. MDM 7.0 is here to pave the way, not just for tomorrow, but for generations to come.
The MDM NeoNormal panels are a series of academic panels to present research and explore what our world will look like in the future, and how the cohort plans on shaping that future. MDM 7.0 knows that the world is ready for something bigger than new, better than normal, we are ready for something innovative and unprecedented. We are ready for NeoNormal. Join us for dynamic panels that challenge you to think bigger and imagine a better world.
This event was made possible through a collaborative effort in truly strange times. Over the past four months, our cohort came together to plan, create, and test every aspect of this event. We would like to acknowledge the gargantuan effort put in by these amazing individuals.
