FOURTH ANNUAL MEDIA NIGHT

Building the Legacy | Investing in Student Excellence

Media Night is an opportunity to celebrate recent student achievements and pave the way for future initiatives that will empower students to establish their legacy in the communication, film, and media industries. The evening also provides a chance for alumni, community partners, and friends of the School to contribute to and enhance student learning opportunities. A central theme of the event is the impact of higher education, experiential learning, and career readiness. We would greatly appreciate your support in investing in the training of the next generation of communication, film, and media professionals.
