Emergent Media Center Open House Celebration

Tweet

Yesterday we celebrated all the work of our marvelous students, staff and faculty with an Open House Event!

News coverage has been incredible and I would like to share it with you. Wonderful is that, in the varying publications and video coverage, you can hear and see many of our students and our team.

It was great for the students to connect up with industry, government and community to share their projects. Here are blog posts by students Heather Conover and another by Robert Witbeck before and after the event which illustrates the depth of their commitment to their work: http://theseethroughmirror.blogspot.com/2008/10/craziness.html
