Roundtable Discussions at the Fair
In conjunction with this year’s Internship + Career Fair, MICA will be holding roundtable style talks geared towards career paths that have proven to be of interest to MICA alumni. The goal is to provide students with the opportunity to ask questions and gain insight on how to develop the skills necessary to be successful in areas that are not specific to a major. Representatives (many of them MICA alumni) will be speaking about their experiences and how they got started in their field. The majority of the hour will be spent addressing questions and comments from students.
Beginning at 2 pm on Friday, April 1st, there will be 3 discussions focused on the following:
Advertising (Leo Burnett, Self Employed) at 2pm in Brown 204
DIY Artist Spaces and Museums (Current Space, Open Space Gallery, Baltimore Museum of Art) at 3:15 pm inBrown 204
Game Design (Big Huge Games, Firaxis Games, Zenimax Online) at 3:15 pm in Brown 205
