To be a PMA Major/Minor in 2023 is to enter a creative world where you receive training and opportunities that equip you to become responsible, ethical creative professionals. But one of the many problems with entering in the media industries of film, television, and theater lies with the lack of clear pathways to careers and gainful employment.
In this series we call “What’s Next?!”, PMA faculty Dr. Kristen Warner will lead four 2-hour workshop sessions that begin to help answer that question. The focus of each session will address a range of topics from internships and graduate programs (MFAs, critical studies MA/PhD) to the dreaded art of writing cover letters/personal statements.
- Tuesday, October 17: 4:00-6:00 pm: Internships—How to Get them and Why You Want One
- Wednesday, October 18: 4:45-6:45 pm: Internships/Applying for MFAs and Doctoral Programs (Film/Media and Performance Studies)
- CANCELED - Wednesday, November 1: 4:00-6:00 pm: Internships/Applying for MFAs (Theater/Performance) *If students are interested in applying for programs in these areas, Professors Sara L. Warner, Beth Milles, and Juan Manuel Aldape Munoz welcome students to get in touch and meet with them about the process.
- Thursday, November 2: 4:45-6:45 pm: Writing Cover Letters and Statements of Purpose for Creative Industry (Academia/Internships)
