Hello May! (Or Capstone and Graduation Time)

By Jess Chambers, iMedia ’14

Hello May,

I was a little shocked to see your name on my calendar this morning. How are you here already? Where has the time gone? 

But all joking aside, this is it. We’re in the final countdown for iMedia 14. There were times I wasn’t even sure if I’d make it. Late nights and weekends in Powell, perilous hikes in Costa Rica, and a caffeine addiction have all brought me to this moment.

While we are applying for jobs in hopes of employment after graduation, there is still one major item on the agenda: the capstone. For some of us, it is crunch time to get everything completed. For others, it just polishing and adding those finishing touches. It’s strange how what was just an idea on paper a few months ago has become real thing.

My classmates and I are proud of what we’ve accomplished. If you’re free on May 21st, I invite you to join us for our capstone showcase. Come take a look at 38 unique projects that range from video games to interactive magazines. While the event will begin at 6 p.m., feel free to stop by whenever and stay as long as you would like. Graduation is the day after our showcase, so this is the last big event before we say goodbye to the iMedia program.

It is exactly three weeks until graduation, and I’m thankful I had the chance to blog for iMedia program. It has allowed me to take time and reflect on the journey along the way. But now it is May so I publish my last post  and move on to (hopefully) bigger and better things. Nothing left to say but so long and thanks for the fish. And if you want to hire me, that would be cool too.
