MATC

We asked our students which events they look forward to each year and compiled a roundup of 2015’s conference selection for technology and communication professionals.

High Five from Triangle AMA
Where Marketing & Creative Meet
February 25-26 | Raleigh, N.C.
Description: This conference brings you — the marketer, strategist, communicator, designer, creative director, product manager, developer, writer — actionable and innovative insights from the talent and vibrant creative community of the Triangle.

MATC students in Fall 2 are conducting user tests right now in JOMC 721: Usability and Multimedia Design. Four weeks of this course are dedicated to usability and producing a usability study. Many students do this study on their own employer’s site, just one example of how the MATC can bring value to your professional career and build your subject matter expertise and credibility at work.

The MATC team joined ConvergeSouth, a regional conference for techies and creatives, this year as it celebrated ten years running. Friday, October 17 was jam-packed with networking and break-out sessions on technology, creativity, design, marketing, and Web.

1. Engage with like-minded and driven peers.

The MATC admits small groups of talented students who experience the program together. Students interact with and learn from one another online and in person, fostering camaraderie through a shared desire to retool for digital media. This tight-knit support group is a professional asset and adds depth to the learning process.

I believe it’s time for a change!  After almost five years as the academic director of the MATC program, I’m leaving my administrative role and joining the program’s esteemed faculty.
