“It is not a lack of talent, our students have tremendous talent. It is the ability to “get into the room”. You cannot be what you cannot see. This is why we started building out a program, to give students a chance to learn from each other, highlight their skillset, connect with media professionals, and create a portfolio that will make them competitive in the workforce.”
