Student Experience: Naeem Wyne

“A meeting with the program supervisor, David Danforth interested me in the Digital Media program. Eastfield provided me with my first formal education in the field of design, and overall it was a great educational, social and practical experience. 

“The Associate in Applied Sciences degree in Digital Media and Digital Photography Certificate are two awards designed in such a great manner that they can be simultaneously a launching pad for a person new to the field and a refresher course for the professional already working in the field. High school graduates can get an introduction and strong foundation studies in digital media and photography. Professionals already working in the field can come to these courses to update themselves with cutting-edge technologies and trends. 

“As an international student, Eastfield was a home away from home for me. School has provided me with a great deal of guidance and encouragement, as well as opportunities to prove my learning and appreciation of my talents. It was here that I got an opportunity to come close to many cultures. From this great experience I realized that under a few thin layers of different cultural, religious and political associations, human beings are very similar.”
