Denise Flores, a former student in the Digital Media program, noted the diversity of her classmates.

 

“There were students in the 50-plus range, who are catching up on the new things trending. There were journalists who are trying to go digital. There were people who are trying to be more competitive by learning new skills. And then there were young people trying to gain a competitive advantage in their field or switch over to a new field,” she said.

 

This is a SDSU Research Foundation program.
