The mission of the MMC Scholars program is: “To create a supportive, close-knit residential community while providing students with hands on opportunities to learn digital media skills and to explore career options.”
In the first year, our focus is exploration and discovery. Students are encouraged to look into career interests while they get hands on experience learning new digital media.
In the second year, MMC students have more options for how they can participate in the program. They can continue to learn in project groups, but they can also teach project groups, do an internship, or focus more on career discovery.
We know that students needs are changing in the 3rd and 4th years, because most are more focused on their majors and get internship and co-op experience. We support students with professional development workshops where they can learn how to improve their resume, how to begin their job search and how to use LinkedIn and other social media appropriately.
