What I love about the IMA program is in creative and media creation- due to its exceptional compatibility with a diverse array of career paths in the realm of media. The beauty of this POE lies in its versatility, as it equips students with the skills and knowledge to seamlessly align with a broad spectrum of professions that involve various forms of media. From film production to digital marketing, graphic design, journalism, and more, creative and media creation offers a strong foundation that can be applied to virtually any field related to media.
I love the practical application of the arts in life and being able to create beauty with everyday materials. I love the idea of using my artistic skills and keeping track of how to make use of them too!
In When I first came to Juniata, I wanted to use my creativity to learn more about digital art and media, and basic digital media classes really solidified that for me. I love being able to create something of my own and see it used in everyday life. It has also given me the ability to make friends that have similar interests and goals, as well as meet people within the community.
I came to Juniata as an exploratory POE because I had such a range of interests. I was able to apply my skills in a large number of places, including numerous projects on campus and with community partners. This has been an incredibly rewarding experience for me.
I have always been influenced by social media, specifically YouTube. This is really pushing me towards wanting to develop my creativity in various ways and finding my own style of storytelling.
I love the collaborative environment that naturally forms within the IMA program’s courses. Not only was I able to develop my identity within these mediums but also apply my skills to real world experiences. I am very passionate about esports, and Juniata has given me more opportunity within that field than I could have imagined.
I love the community of the IMA program, there are so many interesting and creative people, and I am constantly challenged to think outside the box. I have had the opportunity to do so many amazing things and expand my knowledge in ways I never thought I would.
During my time at Juniata, I have had so many valuable experiences that will stick with me through the rest of my life. I have always found myself paying attention to my visual environment, and it has led me to so many real-world opportunities alongside so many partners within our community.
