Tuesday, January 16, 2024

In this Open Studio Conversation Jeffrey Conger, professor of graphic design at Montana State University, explored skills and portfolio strategies that can help students pursue higher education opportunities in graphic design and media arts, career options for students considering these pathways, and the value of exploring higher education opportunities in unexpected locations.

He also talked about the value of welcoming nontraditional and neurodiverse students into art and digital media programs in both secondary and higher education.
