I’ve always had a passion for telling stories artistically through the lens of a camera. As soon as I enrolled into Marywood’s Communication Arts program as a Digital Media/Broadcast Production student, I was able to dive right into working on several projects alongside my peers. There are many opportunities for COMM students to create their own content whether it’s a short film, an original series, a blog, a radio talk show, etc. We have a great community of students and professors within our department that are working together to draw out our potential.
